Pros and Cons of Being A Cockroach 2.

更新 發佈閱讀 9 分鐘

One night when the cockroach falls asleep, a spirit comes into its dream, and yes, humans, a cockroach also dreams, and the spirit whispers:

“Cockroach, I'm the Goddess of the Lonely. I look after all the lonely souls in the world, and I heard you've been wishing from the bottom of your heart that you want to keep company to a lonely one. It touches me. So I'm here to grand your wish. Tomorrow when the moon rises from the horizon, you'll be changed into human form, a grown man. You can be with this lady every night and do whatever you want just exactly like every man else.

But you will return to the cockroach after the Sun comes up, and you are forbidden to set foot outside this woman's home, you can only exist in her apartment and can't let no one see you. Remember, you wish for keeping company with a lonely soul, that's why I'm here, and no other cockroaches ever have this luxury and privilege. Therefore, if you break this rule, there will be punishment, and you will have to live with the consequences for the rest of your life.“ -She warns.

She is not going to elaborate the content of the punishment. But the thing is, when you don't want a thing, of course you wouldn't go break any rules to get it, so the potential punishment or consequences stay potential, meaning, irrelevant. And once you get determined to get that thing, even at the cost to break the rules, the potential punishment or consequences will still be irrelevant because you don't give a shit at all.

“Will you accept my offer and terms?”- The Lonely Goddess wants to know if the potential criminal and victim would fall for her offer.

The cockroach is that kind of I don't give a shit type. It has made its mind. It knows that it wants to stay here in this apartment with the lady. He would do anything to keep her company and enjoys hers too. And, it is merely a low life bug that every human it meets just wants to stomp on and kill. It can die anytime, and now someone is offering an opportunity for it to be a human? What would a cockroach have to lose? It should take it immediately and say thank you.

And that's what the cockroach does. He only thinks for seconds and says yes and thank you. A cockroach can't think too much after all, right?

Next day, when the night falls, the lady, as usual, goes to her kitchen to pour herself a mug of hot water, she sees the cockroach. This time it doesn't dock, it walks along the edges of the cabin to the floor and turns into a human man in front of her. The lady doesn't run away, instead she stands steady right there. The cockroach finds her looking a bit different than before.

"Oh she's not in her pajamas but a dress she has not pulled out from her wardrobe for a long long time." As though she looks pretty, she doesn't look surprised or frightened at all! "My lady, it's me, the cockroach.”- It says with a little withdrawal and uncertainty. Or we should address the cockroach properly as "Roach" because he is a human now.

“I know.”- she replies.

“How do you know? Don't you feel shocked at a total stranger popping out of nowhere in your own house? Let alone this stranger is transformed from a bug!” –Roach kind of yells.

Yes, we have to call him properly since now.

Part of me is a low life that doesn't deserve to live in the eyes of humans, but I was free. Now though part of me is one of you, I'm not happy.

Along the way of life, friends you made when you were young grew up and get older like you, but they don't necessarily go on the same path you choose.

「希!快走!」性感女性在我身後大喊,催促我趕緊離開。於是,我再次跟上她,視線卻依然不由自主地再次回望身後──儘管只能隱約地看見激烈的打鬥場面,我還是不禁觀察那頭蜈蚣,直至發現牠的蟲殼上,閃耀着一個似乎是被刻上去的數字:「4」。被困。

    陽光、早上的陽光、正確來說是接近中午的時刻,從薄弱逐漸轉為強烈的陽光。 它殘忍無情的將我逼出了一身熱汗,將我驅趕至了一旁的無人小徑。 「好熱啊!」 我絲毫不在意路過旁人的眼光,仰天長嘯。 逃難似地躲進了光線幾乎照射不到的陰暗小巷後,我才感覺全身的溫度正緩緩地向下降。 雖說人是恆溫動物
