Everyone's got something moldy in them somewhere
I found a dead bug under my bed and then this happened.
Hope you all are taking care of yourselves.

(account deleted)I found a dead bug under my bed and then this happened.
Reminds me of the time I found a live roach on a railing and then writing happened.
I like the dialogue. Simple, straightforward, common words in a weird context. Sticks in the memory. +1 from me.
Wow! Wow! Dude I can't tell you all my thoughts on this but wow! In real life, this made me say "wow". Like, it was an involuntary reaction. This is fucking awesome, and clever, and (on a greedy note) showcases that Wilson's Wildlife Solutions does pest control too. Neal is fucking great, I loved every moment of him, and the absurdism here is beyond great. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Keep it up.
Also, how come nobody told me this happened? I discovered it a couple days after it was posted. I'm usually way more on top of new Wilson's Wildlife articles.
Roaches are my biggest fear, and I'll probably have nightmares tonight, so thanks… Still, this is a good story, so take your +1 and go to hell for ruining my sleep.
I don't have a lot to say about this other than it's a really solid example of a simple story. Easy +1
Forum signatures were a mistake.
A simple story with a simple premise that still manages to squick and disturb. That said I do feel like the dialogue is a bit too expository with a touch too much telling. I think letting the reader reach some of their own conclusions with certain aspects of this would've improved the narrative overall. That said, it succeeds in the end so a +1 from me.
