Would you believe!?!

The wasp made a come back.

I had only just towelled my hair, dried my limbs and let water trickle from most parts of my freshly showered skin.
Looking for a body lotion I sauntered back into the bathroom, a towel wound around my hair held up in a turban when the buzzing sound I'd moments ago fended off returned.

Seed of satan in his best yellow dress hovered in my line of sight, still some few feet away and the ground beneath my feet melted and solidified and shattered into brittle heartbeats.
But I'd closed the windows and there could be no way for him to return I naively thought before realising and eye rolling the presence of a very old style Jharokha carved on the wall. It's in an intricate design that must have been popular at a certain era before Stone Age perhaps or maybe from even before the dinosaurs roamed because who in their right minds lets a design like that pass?
This large permanently open spaces designed to look like a web of flowers and other motifs gives a free pass to any passing mosquito, bee or critter and today a rather unfriendly wasp availed that opportunity by not only wrecking my peaceful shower time but also returning to haunt me all over again.

I picked up the long handled wiper and got to it.
The wasp as if reading my mind made a beeline for me and locking the door behind was my only course which I did promptly.
I felt for my heart but it sat flopping on the floor and slowly (mark my bravery) twisted the knob to take a sneak peak and I looked inside the bathroom to see the wasp pecking at a trail of ants that quietly went about their job.
The wiper in action all over again and the bastard ran away.
Triumph I squealed and just as I did the wasp came back yet again and this was the absolute limit.

It mocked me!
It challenged me!

Rummaging for bricks and newspapers I returned to end this problem at least temporarily before a more permanent solution could be nailed in and I picked up my lance like wiper and poked at the luciferan little beast until it flew out of the tiny mangai and exited, which is when I slipped into ninja on steroids mode and blocked the jharokha window with newspapers and bricks.
This, I believe should hold for a while..I hope.
