Night Visitors

I'm as friendly as most and probably more than many but some creatures are not welcome. Last week in my abode in Swaziland, I was visited by a black snake, giant millipede, monstrous locust thing, several wasps on steroids, and a whole convention of gnats, flies, and moths. Not willingly, mind you, I was inhospitable to the point of whacking with a whip and chasing with a candle flame. I never did see the mice that bulked up on my oat bran and that's just as well. I squashed numerous spiders in my shower and brushed a couple of beetles out of my bed. It's good to be home.
