Recap Walking back home every day during my schoo

Recap Walking back home every day during my school days in Kozhikode (Kerala), my mind used to be storming with the day's activities, thus ignoring all other happenings around me. It seems there's always a cost to  our ignorance. For approximately a week, I ignored the activities of cockroaches in my room, which had a wooden box as their hub. When these cockroaches became a nuisance and disrupted my studies, I made the decision to eradicate them permanently. As I opened the box, my blood ran cold, and badly, I wished to shout and call my father. But I couldn't, as I was gasping for breath! Uff, these cockroaches... CHAPTER 3 I needed to call my father and yell loudly. Instead, I was stammering, SSSSSNAKEEEE,(snake) as I gasped for a breath! That Viper's presence skipped multiple beats in my heart, and I found myself lying on the floor, scared out of my wits. Along with me, I brought down some of the stationery and books lying on the table. This jarring sound brought my mother, father, and sister running into my room. Seeing their perplexed faces, I feared the snake might emerge from the box at any moment, so I gestured for them to stop and pointed my fingers down at the box. They looked down and were shocked. Without hesitation, my father promptly covered the box with its lid and placed weighing objects. I sighed with relief. There were small holes through which cockroaches could move, but not the snake. Cockroaches were still flying, and so was my sister, who used to scream at the top of her lungs whenever she encountered a cockroach, let alone a flying one! My mother, however, handled these cockroaches very efficiently. She could simply catch hold of one and throw it out! People were called, and they removed the Viper from my room. My mind flashed back... Those flutters and the flight of cockroaches were due to the Viper trying to catch them and enjoying its easy meal. Oh my God, I've been sleeping on the floor in this room with this Viper beside me in the box for the past week! A jittery feeling ran from my head to my toe. Indeed, my ignorance would have paid the price. Thank God the Viper didn't wipe me out, and thanks to the cockroaches!!! - The End - ©Krishnan #Childhood #Memories #reallifestory #reallife
