Eeks....... cockroach

Gosh,just had a scary encounter with a cockroach while doing my research paper. It was actually in my room. It was the flying kind and it was super huge. Just thinking about it gives me the shivers. My hands are shaking even as I type, I am so deeply traumatized now. It must have flown in from the window. One would have thought that cockroaches would have been happy with the 10th storey....But no, why must it fly all the way to the 20th storey and disturb my peace. The worst thing is, it disappeared while I went to look for the Baygon. The postive thinking would be that it flew back out the way it came from. The negative view is that it is lurking about in my room. Just the thought of it makes me....sick. Now i am turned off my sleep despite having been very tired before its appearance. I don't particularly want to sleep in the same room as a cockroach. It puts me to mind of a gory conversation I had with some friends about swallowing errr...unknown stuff while sleeping. Extreme gourmet anyone? Shudder...Now I am tense and with my ears on the 'hearout' for any sound that might alert me to the cockroach's presence. Fortified with Baygon just near my hand as a weapon, its back to my paper again.
