She crawls across the floor, her antennae twitching
nervously. She knows what she has to do; she knows that she
has to go there. The smell of food wafts past her hole,
beckoning her to brave the room where the humans live. She
is perfectly aware that the humans hate her and her family,
but she thinks the mission could still be a success. After
all, those humans seem more interested in watching a
strange, glowing, box-like object than in what goes on in
the world of the floor. Why else would food be left there?
Sticking half her body out of the hole, she listens to the
racket of the enemy, while the smell of food grows ever more
potent. Unable to resist, she scuttles out from her humble
abode towards her goal. Smoke pours out from a stick the
human is holding and she wonders why a creature would ever
want to eat something so putrid. The human unexpectedly
begins to shake violently, gurgling at the glowing object,
and she freezes with fear. Had it noticed her presence?
Could this be a display of threat? After a short while,
however, the bewildering behaviour ceases, and the human
sucks on its smoke-stick again. She can journey on.

Smog swirls above her, illuminated by the groaning, buzzing,
flickering square object. It sits on four pillars with
snarling self-importance, barking at her, barking at the
human. She scuttles underneath it, wondering whether she
should take advantage of the situation by exploring the
room. The humans had an irritating tendency to gather in
large numbers, but now there was only one human, distracted,
alone. Could her epic ambitions finally be realised? She
dashes past the malevolent, grunting, moaning object,
fleeing from its torturous noise, and discovers a number of
peculiar green, glass objects nestled in pools of a sickly
liquid. At a more naïve point in her life she had drank
this very liquid, but found that it only reduced her ability
to escape the horrifying attacks of the enemy.

The human vibrates again, the fat on its face slopping up
and down as it growls at the luminou

The rat lies still, its flesh soft and mouldy, an expression
of fear smeared across its face. She has found her food, her
life, her ecstasy; she only has the maggots to compete with
now, and they know that she is sovereign. Her mandibles
accelerate towards the insides of the rat, searing into the
organs that once kept it alive. Like dolphins at sea, the
maggots leap in and out of the body, soaring upwards to the
surface for air and then diving straight back into the murky
depths of the carcass. She scrambles over the grey, harsh
fur of the rat, eagerly searching for a new section of stale
flesh to dominate. Her wings twinge with elation as she
borrows deeper and deeper into her prize, her serrated legs
scattering the maggots out of her way. This is her paradise,
and here she is queen.

No matter how hard one tries one can never be as dull as a
game of cricket. Except, perhaps, in the case of more than
one game of cricket.

if only one could be able to tell the difference.

this is the curse of cricket, or more the curse of the
people who want to watch something and it has been postponed
because of cricket.
