Giant cockroaches of Hong Kong... ...the siege

image of an oriental cockroach climbing the windowDear Gentle Reader,

You have already seen Hong Kong's giant spiders of the apocalypse, so now... these...

There must be something in the water here in Hong Kong.

Two days after I wrote about the cockroaches in Taiwan, I am faced with this behemoth blotting out the sun as it climbs my building...

As OxyJen commented on a previous post, things this big have to have a brain.  This one probably has been mutated by chemical waste.

Great.  

A big-brained mutant cockroach that maybe eats animals, not the waste food of animals...

Maybe it "reads" the internet through its massive antennae too, and it read the previous post about the cockroaches in Taiwan.

That is it.

My life is in danger.  

This vast beast is seeking revenge on its smaller relatives in Taiwan...

Fortunately, all the windows were closed. Your humble scribe huddled at the computer, transfixed and terrorized.

Eventually, this one left.  But then, as the sun started to give way to the night and your scribe was hoping to leave the house, he caught sight of another fearsome warrior nimbly and swiftly leaping onto the ledge above the window.

Preparing for an ambush perhaps? This leviathan threatened to overturn the entire building. 

Sorry, Gentle Reader, but I have to go. I have to check on food supplies.  I fear a siege has begun.

Wish us well, Gentle Reader.

Is this the end?

In peril, 
Chris, Regina, and Pommes

Pumice the wonder cat, will save you!

Dear Steady-as-Rain,

I am wondering why you want us to pumice our wonder cat, Pommes? How will using a pumice stone on your Hero save us from these giant cockroaches?

Quivering in a corner,
Chris, Regina, and a doubly terrified Pommes
