Overture Roach
I saw it standing there in the cockroach infested refugium where we lived, sometimes fighting the nematodes of depression, mostly fighting the other cockroaches. We were 'all cockroaches now' as had once been prophesied. I'd never thought I'd be writing this science fiction autobiography let alone expecting there to be a readership - and yet here you are!
Hello - is it me you're looking for?
It wasn't doing anything particularly eye catching and I only noticed it because I was using the magnifying glass to catch the sun's rays at the opening of the cave. But it was moving so you'd imagine it was life. Now, there were three species which had survived the blast (land based anyway); Us, the roaches and, this.
