Bed Bugs


I think there are bugs in my bed and they bite me at night.  I’ve found two.  One looked like a cricket and the other I looked up on the internet and learned it is called a house centipede.  They have 15 sets of legs and an overall scary-ass appearance (see picture).

I’m no stranger to bug bites at night as I’ve spent a combined year, maybe two, of my life sleeping in cabins or tents.  After most nights out there, I wake up, start scratching and then get really tingly, like the bug venom/bacteria is distilling with my blood and testing its defenses.  After a time, I calm down and get on with my life but I don’t think I’m the same person.  I’m part bug now.  And the bugs are part me.
