Crawling under

It comes crawling slowly out of the dark, then quickly wriggles out of sight. A worm? What is it? It comes again but I pretend to not notice it. Again. Then again. I look at it, it's a horrible sight. How did it get in? I must do something. I must get rid of it. This is no place for…for…such things! I'm scared of hitting it. No this is my territory. I cannot be frightened here! I grab the nearest old book. Wham! I hit the thing. Carefully I lift it up to see what's happened to it. It lays still. Finally! What?! No! It's crawling away! I thought it was over! I hit it again. Then leave the book there. I walk around for a while…nervous. Then I lift up the book carefully. It's lost a few of its numerous legs. Haha! NONO!! It's running away again! What deceptive creature is this? I hit it once, twice, thrice…It continues crawling, enduring and fighting defeat. I keep hitting it. This is ridiculous! Won't it die? WON'T IT???
