Dear House Centipede,

I appreciate your effort to hold up your obligations under our lease agreement. As you know, I provide you with free rent in exchange for your diligent efforts to eat any insects that may come into the house. Your immense size tells me you’ve been keeping up your end of the bargain.

I am writing to you about the incident this morning. Our agreement states that we must avoid each other at all costs. While I was brushing my teeth, you came scurrying out of the sink drain. Please avoid doing this in the future, as it creeped the hell out of me.

I thank your for your attention to this matter.

    Holy shit house centipede my beloved <33

    The first time I saw one was borderline traumatic but I went looking it up after I made an attempt on its life and I felt so bad I dedicated my life to informing the people around me about how lovely the slightly freaky fellas are

      Yes, this is how I was. And I’m also one of those people who needs to figure out what kind of scary bug I just saw. I wish my work wouldn’t spray for insects because I find their corpses around and it makes me sad.
