mayhem in the morning or sometimes in the middle of the night

this is the time of year the suicide roaches come into the house to drown in the sink

at first seeing them in the sink (them means from 1 to 6 so far) and knowing what i had to do to cooperate with their death wish / well / it was upsetting / i havent even had my coffee yet

turn on the water anyway / lift the drain baskets out so they have a clear shot going down the pipes

ooops / they seem to have changed their minds / yes

they struggle against the water but i persevere / the water gets hotter

another way is to fill the sinks with water the night before / quick and easy for your usual suicide roach

i discover one middle of the night that by 2:30 am when i come into the kitchen for my hot milk and ghee they are already to go / i lift them out carefully although they are pretty much goners by now / and carry them outside where they can go back to the earth

otherwise i fear them clogging my sink trap

i cant think of anything more gross
