My dreams have a tendency to get exceptionally bizarre when I'm liquored up. Last night was no exception. I had a hardcore night terror.
A friend of mine was walking several feet ahead of me and stumbled over a big cicada. The cicada flew up into the air and began buzzing around randomly like they do. Let me preface what happened next by saying that in general I'm absolutely, fucking terrified of big bugs. I hate all bugs, but I'm fucking horrified of big bugs. Often I've said that if a fucking roach touches me I'd run as fast as I could and cut off whatever the roach touched. Bugs that fly are the most petrifying since they can go anywhere and they can go there fast and there's no way to predict them. So like I was saying, my buddy stumbles across this cicada, it flies up in the air, I begin backing up as fast as I can while still concentrating on where the fucking insect is going. In horror I watch as it diverts towards me. It seemed like slow motion as it kept coming my way. I turned and began to sprint, I couldn't afford to keep my eyes on it at this point. I made it a few steps and then BAM! I felt something slam into the back of my neck, on the left side, just above my shirt collar. I could hear that awful cicada buzz right next to my ear. Instinctively, I crunched my neck toward my shoulder to try and crush it. My friend began screaming something like "I see it! I see it!" I thought I could feel the bug moving around, trying to bury its way under my shirt. I was utterly panicked. I kept slamming my head down towards my shoulder trying to crush this monstrosity. At the same time I was screaming, a real classic, high-pitched man-scream. I thought my fucking heart was going to burst out of my chest I was so overcome with fright. And then I must have tripped my sleep breakers because I was awake. I was sitting up in bed, absolutely drenched in sweat. Going back to sleep was tough given how much adrenaline was coursing through my veins. My head is tender from slamming it into my headboard more than a few times.
Fuck you bugs! Fuck all of you! I don't give a shit where you are on the food chain or how important you are to the ecosystem; if I could, I'd wipe you all out. I'd sacrifice the earth and all its inhabitants by wiping out the bugs and I'd do it gladly with a smile on my face. The bugs have been in my hatebox longer than anything else and I'm afraid I'll go to my death with them having the upper hand.
