A lone cockroach crawled along the barren soil of your mind.
Darkness surrounded. Malnutrition set in upon the poor little creature. Its meager existence was not embellished by the deserted home it inhabited.
Above it lay rocks, below it lay stones. Soil enveloped it, though it was hardly a motherly cradle.
But luck was with the solitary creature today. Above it, the ground was punctured by a stiff shaft. The shaft quickly retreated back into the over world, but it left a small tray bearing a very attractive meal for the cockroach.
A gleaming ray of sunshine poured through the hole, illuminating otherwise bleak surroundings. Hundreds of cockroaches crawled from their hiding places, their exoskeletons glistening in the sun as they feasted. Isolation ended.
Above, a man talked with the exterminator. “Sure, they’ll all be dead in a week or less, you have my guarantee.”
On the ground rested a small pole, its poison-bearing tip now glossed over, devoid of its deadly contents.
It was a shaft of imagination.
