Right now...

I'm watching a cockroach lying on its back in my kitchen, slowly dying. I'm unsure how it got there. I understand that I might catch a bug or two on my floors when I come home at night and turn the light on. But I fully expect them to scurry away under the fridge or something.

This roach was just lying on its back. In the middle of the floor. What is its story? Did it run into the middle of the floor when it heard me jingle my keys in the lock, hop onto its back, and proceed to die, just to make sure that in its dying breaths (do cockroaches really even "breathe"?) it created some sort of dramatic tragedy for my pleasure? Who knows.
