Sweet, beautiful silence
I've had a cricket somewhere in my kitchen for weeks. I have searched high and low for it. For awhile, I thought it was my fridge making sounds. Was it? I'm not sure. I was losing my sanity. Sometimes it happened during the day or at night. Sometimes it would stop when I would come in and then start when I left. Once I heard the chirping and it metastasized in the back of mind, it's all I could hear. I couldn't sleep. It was just the chirping of the cricket. Always. Endlessly.
The first night with this trap out there were no results and I thought I was doomed. This is my life now. Nothing could rid me of this troublesome cricket. The only thing left is to burn this house to ashes. Then, on the second night, I'm sitting at home and what do I hear? Nothing. Nothing at all. Beautiful. Blissful. Silence. I dug out the trap and what do I find? The one. Singular. Cricket.
He looked at me as if to say "Father, is it over?".
And I softly replied "No king lives forever, my son" and chucked his ass in the trash.
Is melodramatic to say a five dollar insect trap changed my life? I'm not sure. But it did. 10/10 Would recommend.
