RIP moth (a few months ago – August 2011)

——————————————————————

LIGHTS UP on the stairwell in my building. My neighbor, his lady friend, and me are passing each other on the stairs.

Me: I have a proposal for you

Neighbor: What’s that?

Me: How would you like to make a dollar by killing a moth in my apartment?

Neighbor: I’ll do it for free!

INT. MY ROOM

After three tries, the neighbor succeeds in catching the moth in a napkin.

FADE OUT

Comparison between this year’s and last year’s moth incident:

THIS YEAR: moth was bigger

LAST YEAR: moth fucked up my life at a stressful time when I had no full-time job, no boyfriend, no school, and a rapidly-expiring lease. Thanks a lot, you little bastard. I hope you’re enjoying the hellfire. (I guess you probably would, cause you’re a moth.)

BOTH YEARS: moth emerged from my thick curtains, I texted my mom about it, and ultimately got Some Dude to kill it for me, because I’m an adult and feminist
