Biter

Sorry if you have a phobia of these muscular little creatures. In our family we have all been bitten at least once by one of these centipedes. They are most prevalent in the home during the seasons of change when the temperature warms and cools. Unfortunately they are quite nocturnal and like to snuggle in between the futon. Not exactly what you want to find in amongst your personals.
This morning I was told that while I was asleep the kitten had awoken suddenly and made a B line for this munster near where we sleep thereby alerting my wife to the alien presence. I am afraid we all become buffalo hunters when these creatures hit our patch of prairie and we kill dispassionately. We all know they would really rather we didn't and once they know they are discovered they try to escape rather than turn and fight, but we know they don't have sufficient oomph in the brain department to stay clear of us afterward and it is easier to get back to sleep if you know there is one less scuttling about in the shadows. The cat has been popular all day and he will be encouraged to kip in the bedroom I am sure.
