(Person
comes onstage, carrying a drawer, waving it)
I did what you told me! I have hidden all the food! Wrapped up every piece of anything they could want! What are they doing in my ....my sock drawer? I refuse to get those horrible chemicals! They are just ants! I can reason with them…..they are smaller than I am, I am bigger than they are, I should win! Isn’t that the way it goes in this world? The bigger one wins?

(Watches as someone is walking out)
Mom?
Dad? Why won't you hear me? Where are you going? Don't leave
me alone with them! Help! ........Don't you want to sit here
in my new house, which is...covered in.......
(The person starts wiggling, itching, rubbing arms)
(The person starts wiggling, itching, rubbing arms)
Ewwww....now
I am covered in these things! These bugs have attacked my
house! And now they are attacking me!
(Person shudders, picks off something and looks at it, quiet for a moment, then
suddenly shrieks)
AAAAAHHHHHH!
They are winning! These ants are all over me.....and now they might
be.....
(Feels around nose and ears.)
Inside
of my head! They have taken over.......I am becoming one of them!
(The person falls to the floor, writhing in .....the horror)
Why
can't they leave me alone! This is just
like my life! I get a new place, and the
aliens take over! I try and fight, but I
cannot win! I am covered in
despair! Covered in…….bugs! And there is no way out! No chance of success! ….. All right, I give up.......you win.....
(Person stops wiggling, gets up, slowly stops scratching, then stands)
You
may win……..
(Turns to exit, looks back)
But tomorrow, I’m going to (in defeat, but smiling)…….. hire the exterminator.........

But tomorrow, I’m going to (in defeat, but smiling)…….. hire the exterminator.........
(Exits, scratching. Hopefully the end.....of the bugs)
