Cicak: Delayed Reaction

I was in the kitchen, washing up.

Very domestic, I know.

I'd made quite a watery mess on the counter.

: /

Less domestic.

So I grabbed the cloth on the side, to clean up.

And as I did so A HUGE BLACK CICAK came FLYING out of it and onto the floor!!

[it was hiding there. yuks.]

Where it paused. 

Frozen in time.

As did I.

Thinking, I just kinda touched another one… O.o

Then it came to life, scurried across the floor and under a box. 

Me: UUUUURRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!

It's funny how I only managed to make the noise long after the cicak had left my hand-space.

Eww.
