Sinanation

Think of a fat puffy thought cloud. Fill it with all the things that give you comfort. Pillows? Chocolate? Milk? Cotton? Once your cloud is full, take a sharp knife, stab the cloud and rip it apart. That is what happens when a stupid mosquito passes close to your ear while you are in deep sleep. That irritating sound slaps you so hard in the face that you don’t remember where you are or what just happened. Something must have ripped your eardrum apart. You are paralyzed with the thought of not being able to hear anymore.

Only when your brain reboots from the deep sleep do you realize that it is a tiny insect that caused all this horror.  That stupid, inconsiderate, annoying mosquito came for the open bar and you are the signature cocktail. You put the light on and grab the closest magazine, newspaper or anything else that could roll into a stick. You pick a corner and assume you are the ninja waiting for the attack.  A ninja in his/her PJs, helpless, hopeless and ashamed. You know that the mosquito is attracted to carbon dioxide, but you can’t just stop breathing. Patience is the key to victory, but sleep rules over it. The comfy bed is getting colder and your opponent has the best camouflage in the world. It can feed on sugar, but it needs your blood to make babies. Strength, size and intelligence does not matter anymore.

You are left with three options:

1. Plug the ears, go to sleep and let the mosquito enjoy your delicious blood or
2. Turn into a tree trunk while waiting for the mosquito to casually fly around the room or
3. Take out your dragonfly, which you have been looking after as a pet until this day, to take care of the business

I usually pick # 1 and let the insect have a wild night. No covers, no bouncers and all the shots are on the house. No one else can get a better deal in Manhattan.

The bites, I can live with, but that zzzBZZZzzzzzz will always be a part of my nightmares.
