Little Black Bugs That Bite And Draw Blood 소설 & 이야기

"Nice. Well, anyway, that night I'd finally gotten to sleep-I'd stripped down to the skin because it was so stinking hot, and I was sleeping on top of the covers. Sleeping is a generous term for what I was doing, because I was actually just barely dozing. I'd had my eyes closed for maybe half an hour when I felt something on my hand." "Oh, my God." Jenny's eyes went wide. "Yeah, my reaction exactly," I agreed. "I wake up, and I immediately think it's a palmetto bug, because those suckers are bold.
