Winged Crawly Things

For about an hour yesterday afternoon my bedroom was under attack.  I was sitting in my reading chair when I noticed something crawling across my window sill.  Something winged but not really flying.  And then I saw another.  And another.  So I opened the blinds and saw the horror.  Hundreds of winged crawly things were swarming the top of my window screen, desperately trying to get in.  I shut the window and did a quick scan of the room and noticed that a few dozen had breached the barricade and were moving across my ceiling like the Spanish Armada.  Who knows what they were after.  Possibly the Otter Pop stash.  I got right to business.  Crawling bugs I can handle.  Had they been using their wings I would have had to move to Australia.  I pulled out the vacuum and sucked them all up.  And then, armed with nothing by my wits and a can of Raid, I opened the window and took out the majority of them through the screen.  This is what was left.

I then proceeded to move everything away from the walls and violently rustle my bed linens to make sure that none were hiding out for a sneak attack later on.  Within the hour the survivors had retreated and the only evidence of the battle were the remains of two of their fallen comrades in the corner of my window sill that is behind my desk and thus a little hard to get to.

I'm giving myself a Medal of Valor.  You're invited to the presentation ceremony.
