This is Why I Hate Nature

So I was on my bed, minding my own business, just drawing a picture for my friend.


All of a sudden I had this sudden urge to scratch the side of my head. I felt something stuck to it. What was it? Dirt? A sticker I had put there but forgot about? I had no idea. So I scratched it off my head. When I looked down to see what it was, I noticed it slightly resembled a tick. Before I could validate this theory, I instinctively freaked out and shook my hand until it was off and somewhere on my bed. Instead of looking for the mysterious object that could possibly be a tick that was now on my bed, I decided to push it to the back of my mind and deny that this event ever occurred in case it really was a tick, meaning that there was a tick on my head. Which is gross. About 15 minutes later I see a small (yet very big) black thing crawl across my computer with the determination and animosity of an angry Cthulhu.

It seemed that my theory was correct and it was a tick on my head that now wants revenge for discarding it onto my bed and forgetting about it. I screamed and flailed around, almost breaking my laptop, and ran off my bed screeching "THERE IS EITHER A VERY SMALL (BUT STILL TERRIFYING) SPIDER OR VERY LARGE TICK ON MY LAPTOP RIGHT NOW" My father, the bravest and most heroic man alive (who is also a follower of my blog) came to my rescue by calling my younger sister into the room to take care of the Cthulhu tick. She took one of my t-shirts and used it to to pick up the tick and flush it down the toilet. Now this t-shirt will either be burned or given to someone I don't like very much.

A few minutes after this terrible crisis had ended, I was like, "well, I'm sure glad that's over!" But then I started thinking, what if that wasn't the same brain-sucking tick that was on my head earlier? What if the tick on my laptop was a different tick!? And what if this survivor tick was on my bed right now laying eggs to create a mutant tick army!? Like the orc army in "Lord of the Rings" only way, way scarier.


So now, I can't sleep in my bed for at least a week or two for fear of the angry mutant tick babies.
