I just killed my first scorpion. I didn't want to, but it really would've crawled under the doorway and into our bedroom and possibly walked on top of me while I slept. Is that justifiable?
The death was quick, and quite juicy. But Karma has it's ways. It sent a large and very fast camel spider to bother me in my sleep instead that night.
I slept "like a ninja" that night. Meaning, every time I heard a noise or felt the slightest weight on my mattress, all of my limbs flailed violently.
Now I know exactly why Senegal's government is working so hard to pass out bed nets.
