At 1:30 am I went down to the kitchen to drink water and take my medicine.
A big ipis suddenly came out from under the refrigerator and crawled under the bar stools.
Tila eto yung mailap na ipis na hindi ko mahuli-huli. Matagal ko na syang inaabangan, kasi dun sya nagtatago sa ilalim ng ref. Aha, ikaw ha? I grabbed the day’s newspaper and pukpok it, naka takbo, ang bilis, I chased it around the kitchen, ang lambot naman nung newspapers, tila hindi mapuruhan. Until finally, pakpakpak, Patay!
Nahingal talaga ako, napagod ako, wala na akong practice. It’s been a while since I’ve chased ipises. Ever since I banned their tribes from having sex in my bathroom, nawala na sila. Yun pala nagtatago lang.
