Trip City

Chrysalis of Garbage
There they were laughing,having a great night watching their favorite show. The television roaring with the room bathed in an elusive kaleidoscope of colors drowning the world in a effervescent glow. Then in an instant frank looks at katie to see her transfixed to the wall. With her mouth agape he meets her gaze. What the hells wrong with you he said. She pointed at the wall and through the darkness. There was a spec it was a roach. This couldn't be the couple as they were adamant cleaners. They had just moved in. Needless to say they were shocked. He instantly launches into weighing the moral implications of killing something for no reason. Whats the most humane way to do it? Whats the most effective way to do so. He grabed the new spray they bought from the store.It had been recalled recently due to trace amounts of radium. Found in a few can across the natiom. He popped the cap and professed a sincere whisper "im sorry bud". He let the can rip as kates protest and hysteria subside. The roach falls to the floor after a long continuous spray. The roach stood still like the room still waiting in anticipation. Its legs slowly start to twitch until it sprung up almost instantaneously. Frozen the couple watched as the insect was scurring faster than before. Ziging and zagging across the floor up and back down the wall. As frank timidly tries to corral it with a pink novelty wine glass. The cat even joined in but couldn't match the near superspeed. Or what appeared to be so. The roach rushed under the coffee table. Cluttered with remotes and comic books. Then as the couple cautiously looked below. They see a bulbus humanoid type creature. It looked like a thing of nightmare with its face dripping with viscous fluid. The creature lunges forward and grabs frank. "WHAT THE FUCK!!" He screams the humunculous stared at him. Maybe hes friendly he thinks. The roach engorged his arm in a blood mist screans of carnage and terror come from kate as she watches frank die a meaningless death. Kate bails and runs to the pantry. In their one bed room apartment right across from the living room. As she hides for dear life she hear chittering and the mashing of flesh. As she peeped through the pantry door she saw a pile of flesh with the the monster feasting. As the horrors persist so does the static of the tv over and over in a continuous void that seemed to last forever. Until the spurts up mouth dripping with carnage and flips around to face the pantry. She tries not to scream as it slowly meanders over in a jerking gate. She covers her mouth as she tries to breath. Everything stops she feels deaf she's so adrenaline filled she doesnt hear anything but her own thoughs. She knows she has to do something, she sees the knife on the kitchen counter and arms length from her. She barges out and grabs the knife and goes to plunge it into the creature. The creature catches her arm mid thrust and lifts her off of the ground. She kicked and screamed thrashing around. In a split second as the creature was studying her she kicks in its huge eye. As she fell to the ground she runs making her way to the door. Limping and running she gets to the door turns the knob and as she goes to open it. She feels the antennae on her shoulders and the creature slowly wraps its fingers around her head. The creature stops for a moment before squeezing her head into a pulp like it was a grapefruit.
