100 words about roaches.

A Story by Lady Celery
"

A 100-word story about... something bad.

"

My first reaction was to scream and run away. It seemed so natural, I couldn’t help myself. Unfortunately, that wasn’t going to solve the problem.

“Honey, there’s a cockroach in the house,” I announced loudly. That day, though, he was out playing pool with his friends. 

Well, now the only thing left to do is panic and make a bad decision.

I ran into the kitchen and grabbed my broom. I charged back into the living room, where the roach was waiting. 

I swung at it and missed. Then, I stepped forward.

Now it’s on the bottom of my shoe.

I like the poem and I agree. The cockroaches breed and take over very quickly. Make us know fear and bad possibilities. A good ending to the entertaining poetry.

This was the cutest thing I've read in a while! I especially loved the line, "Well, now the only thing left to do is panic and make a bad decision." Very funny! It's definitely not easy to create a story in such few words, but you managed to do so very well. Great job!

Sounds like my girlfriend, who screams, cries, and laughs simultaneously while shouting for me to "kill it! Kill it!" But I never do, I always let it go outside,

This made me laugh. This is excellent. No one like cockroaches. A great story with so few words.
