A true story of how I defeated a monster (not realy true.)
  Walking my girl friend home. I saw a very large cockroach across the street. It had to be the biggest cockroach I had ever seen. Walking across the street to get a better look I started to get chills I’m not squeamish about  bugs, but thoughts of this thing jumping of the wall and crawling on my face was enough to make me keep my distance. However I still wanted a picture, and thoughts of discovering the worlds largest cockroach pushed me a little closer.

The cockroach twitched it legs as if it was ready to charge. I prepared for the battle ahead. (I mean jumped about ten feet in the air) Just as I was about to take the picture the cockroach lunged at me with beady red eyes and 4 inch fangs. This beast slammed into me and knocked my camera to the ground. (Well it did fly in my direction, and I may have dropped my camera while screaming like a girl)

The battle took hours, but I wouldn't give an inch. In the end I alone was left standing. I got a picture of me standing victorious over the horrible beast. (Ok so the whole thing was over in a second and my picture came out as a blur.)
