Pretend It's Last Night

There are at least 30 small insects in my room. I presume they snuck under the tiny corners of netting where tape was missing or were just small enough to come right through the screen. All in the 10 min. I had the light on and showered. Is it just the light they want? There are another 100 pressed up against the screen at all the edges, madly trying to flutter their way in. Is it because of the crazy rain last night? All suddenly born from moisture? I wouldn't mind so much, only the tiny ones keep crawling all over me. The slightly bigger black ones make noise flying around.

Alright, i just retaped edges for the hundredth time, turned on the bathroom light to try and lure them in there...and finally the insect activity seems to be dying down...or am i speaking too soon? This makes a few mosquitoes seem like nothing! And how i thought it was cool this morning, so quiet and still--the air full of strange winged moths rising into the sky. A monk rescuing one. And Noelle plying me with charcoal and ginger pills, crackers from Canada and juice boxes...

thats crazy, the must have known the famed bug catcher was out of town. Worse than a buzzing biting mosquito thats hard to believe and if true unbearable.
