Do you ever get that feeling? You know, that feeling when something crawls on a particular part of you. Somehow slimy?
or…
itchy?
I’ve experienced both, and yes, now I tend to be sensitive when I hear or feel like if something wants to… do bad things to me (NO, ITS NOT WHAT YOU THINK).
#1 Let The Right One In: The first time happened when I was still in junior high. Every school still has that custom, every morning students are lined up outside their classes and pray (doa pagi). So, I was in a position where I can lean on a wall or post, something like that. After the morning prayer, we went back to our classes. Sometime after that, I felt something moving on my head, but when I touched my head I felt nothing. It moved again… thats when I suspect it was INSIDE my veil. So, calmly (although hysterical inside), I excused myself to the restroom to find out. I put off my veil and shook it (like when you want to get rid off dust) and from that veil, a gecko (I’m not sure what it is called in English, but here we call it “cicak”). I automatically dust my veil again to make sure it didn’t get inside again. In the afternoon when I got home, I immediately showered. And shampooed my hair.
#2 Rapist: I was bathing at home and normally everyone bathes naked, right? So, as I said, I was bathing. My mind was cool, I felt cool (literally), and I was about to finish when suddenly I felt something crawl on my neck. I went ballistic and tried to pry off whatever-the-hell it was.
It was a *BEEP*ing cockroach.
In the end, I took a bath once again. I felt dirty, like dirty dirty when you get raped.
#3 A Cloudy Chance of Geckos: I was waiting for the yellow bus to arrive at the M(asjid)UI bus stop. I sat down on the bench, alone (as in no company for me, but there was a couple of people with me). Minutes passed and I felt something dropped to my hand. It was a baby “cicak” and I automatically fling-ed my hand away. Since then I always look at the ceiling before I sit somewhere that has a roof.
#4 Nightmare: This time, the victim was both me and my little sis. We were sleeping, my sis on the lower mattress and I was on the top. I didn’t know how it began, but suddenly I felt something itchy and crawly on my neck, it was a reflex and somehow I throw it below which I thought it was the floor. Nope, it was my sister. She didn’t move or anything, but I saw it crawling underneath her blanket and that’s when my sis suddenly got up and shook herself and got hysterical. It was four in the morning and we decided not to sleep again and get showered.
#5 Revenge: I guess they wanted revenge. So I was bathing (at that time in the dorm). I was getting ready to soap myself when suddenly I felt something on my foot. It’s that *BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP* roach again. I automatically kicked it away into any direction, bathe myself once again, and can’t sleep at night thanks to that roach who suddenly disappeared and never got killed.
and thanks to those experiences, now I’m so sensitive when I feel that something tickles me or I hear rustling of some sort. *sigh* I feel traumatic.
So guys, what are your creepy crawlers stories?
