The twilight zone (continued)

Finally, out of total desperation, I decided that if I couldn’t get it out, I would at least try to drown it.  A dead insect was better than burrowing one.  I ran into the bungalow’s bathroom and starting filling my ear with water.  I waited long after the scratching stopped to confirm the thing’s death.  But after emptying my ear of water, the scratching slowly began again!

After two more attempts at insect murder, it finally stayed quiet!  And just as I was starting to turn my attention to insect carcass removal, I happened to glance down into the bathroom sink.  There, walking around in the sink was a very wet, giant black ant.  I was so relieved that I no longer recall what I did with that ant, but I suspect he experienced an immediate and vengeance-filled death.
