There’s this lizard that’s taken up residence in the little grill that contains the pots outside my living room window. Every night, by about ten, it starts scurrying all over the sliding windows, looking for a way in. I’ve been watching this happen for a week now and the damned reptile isn’t giving up. Now that it knows there’s no way I’m letting it in, it’s taken to taken to casting furtive glances and turning away every time I look. This little game of hide and seek goes on for as long as I’m awake.
It’s grown noticeably larger since the first time I spotted it and seems determined to leave its paw-prints all over the windows. It doesn’t run away when I look now and attempts some lizard-ly form of scare tactics, which have had no effect yet. Yesterday, it thought it would gross me out by plucking a moth out of the air and gobbling it up slowly, savouring each bite. I was pretty bored then, and although fascinated, did not lose my dinner. It definitely needs tips from the Venus Fly Trap. It’s disappeared for now, probably wondering how best to break and enter.
