It was past
midnight. They stealthily approached her from opposite directions. One of them
was lean and menacing; the other was dark and stodgy. She however, seemed
blissfully unaware of the dangers lurking so close to her.
Haste
getting the better of them, the partners in crime closed in on their first
victim of the night a little too quickly. She sensed something amiss. Her
reflexes kicked in and she was too quick for them to handle. They stood stumped
as they watched their dinner fly away.
The roach
and the lizard were back to being strangers in the night.
