Cockroach

The house was very quiet.

Slowly and carefully, he crept out from under the bed. He paused to see if anyone was around. Happy that it was safe, he scurried along skirting boards, until he came to the kitchen. There may be food here. Methodically, he scoured the floor looking for any traces of bits that had been dropped. He was concentrating on the areas around chair legs when he heard it. It was the sound of footsteps approaching the room! What would he do? More to the point, what would it do. All he could do to avoid detection, was to scamper across the width of the kitchen as fast as he could and hide under the fridge…

His mother, having entered the kitchen, only to find her son down on all fours facing the closed refrigerator door, stood for a few beats, looking agog.

It was at this point; quite regardless of any conversation that might take place between him and his mother, he knew that his attempt to emulate the activities of a Blattidae had hit a major snag.
