This also reminded me in a way of Starship Troopers.
And having grown up in a semi tropical climate like New Orleans, where the roaches are HUGE inches long and fly, and LOVE to dive bomb you, it kindasorta grossed me out.
Thank you! That's sort of what I was going for and for the novel I go back and forth with setting it in the south. I'm pretty sure that's what I'll end up doing.
Bleh. That gave me the creeps. Probably your goal, eh?
Goooood, gooooood... thanks for reading and sharing your creeps, Patricia!
It's reminded me of a Twitter friend's book that has giant bugs people have to battle. It gave me the creeps, too. https://www.amazon.com/bugs-Stephen-Drivick-ebook/dp/B00IBRL666
This was awesome, I feel like I need to pop the disc/cassette back in and play it again, so many good lines.
Thanks, Edward! There's something about these goofball characters that makes it all that much easier to write. 🤪

But definitely a fun read!
Yes, now imagine two-foot-long cockroaches dive bombing and spitting acid. What a world that would be to live in! Thanks for reading, Kim!
I had a small cockroach playing dead on the floor this morning, and I will never see it in the same way again!
By small do you mean two feet long and one foot wide? 😂
Thanks for reading, Renee!
Wow. Paraphrasing those old Trix commercials I can't ever forget seeing- that line always seemed prejudicial to me....
I agree, Trix should be for rabbits, kids and space cockroaches! Thanks for reading, David. 😁
Aww! I'm having a hard time consuming my breakfast. 😰
If your breakfast starts moving around the table on its own, then I've done my job as a storyteller. 😉
"At second glance, he had definitely fallen victim to a runaway cockroach who spits acid."
Dang. What a way to go.
Poor Dale. I mean, he was on point with the BBQ fork, but just didn't have the wherewithal to continue the fight.
Jordy Verrill meets Gregor Samsa. Nice.
Lol, that's an apt description, Jeff! Thanks for reading.
Fantastic! Very fun read! I read the whole thing with a little bit of a country twang in my head!

Yeah! It works…you could do Appalachia too, or like rural central PA. Any place that’s a little off the map!
Nice! Very entertaining.
Thank you for reading!
