“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

Antonia’s parents rushed out of their bedroom, and down the hall into her room. In his rush Antonia's father stubbed his toe, so limping as he ran bursts into Antonia’s room after his wife to see what was wrong with his little girl. They found her holding her arm, and pointing to a chestnut-colored centipede on the lavender colored wall next to her bed.

“Toni, baby, what happened?” Her mother asked, crossing the room to her daughter’s bed in an instant.

“It bit me!” she screamed hysterically.

Antonia’s father jumped into bug killer mode by grabbing one of Antonia’s nearby shoes to vanquish the insect that had done harm to his little girl.
