Scorpion In My Bedroom

I came home last Friday to find a scorpion crawling on the wall just above my bed.

 

I was not pleased.

 

 

The scorpion did not live for much longer after that.

This is what a dead scorpion looks like – scraped off the wall by the cover of the book that killed it.

And my bedroom is a safe place once again, thanks to Troy and his steady book-swinging arm.
