Confession of a Herpetophobia

“Ahhhhhhh!!!” shouted. I saw a lizard crawling into my room. I tried to stop it from going in when suddenly I remembered that the 1 minute I had spent with the LIZARD when I was 11years old…

It was a sunny Saturday afternoon, I was lying on a pillow on the floor watching television. As the show that my mum was watching was very boring, I fell asleep very soon. I had a dream while I was sleeping. I dreamt about a house full of creepy crawlies and I was in it. I was frantically trying to get the lizards, beetles, ants and etc off me but they just refused to get off me!!! I screamed and the next thing I woke up, I was lying in front of the television. I heaved a sign of relief as it was just a dream.

I got up for a wash and a drink to calm myself down a little and got back to watching television. While I was lying on the pillow, I felt something cold under my shirt. I thought to myself, it is just the water that I used to wash myself up, so I put my hand in and clean it. Then it was dry and I continued watching my show. I was still thinking about the dream I had earlier on but managed to forget because the show distracted me.

I felt very thirsty after a while and got up to have a drink.
While I was going pour water into the cup, I felt something COLD underneath my shirt, then I thought: “I did not accidentally splash water on myself nor did I went to the washroom to bathe so why is there water underneath my shirt?” I put my hand underneath my shirt to wipe and when my hand came out… There was a LIZARD on my HAND!!! “AHHHHH!!!” I screamed as I threw the lizard away from me. I ran to the living room into my mum arms and went crying. My mum consoled me saying that it was over already, no point crying over spilled milk.

After all the crying and consoling, I went to take a bath and stayed in the washroom for an hour just to keep washing the part where the lizard laid on. After the bath, I told myself never to lay on the floor like what I did and to be BEWARE of LIZARDS in future!
