Finally the day had come and there was nothing she could do to put it off any longer.
She clenched her teeth and furrowed her brows in concentration as she started breathing in and out slowly!
She tried to put an act of being fearless; after all she detested being made fun of!
But no matter how much she had prepared herself, nausea swept over the moment she set her eyes on him, laying there all but unconscious, moving his legs slightly as she touched him.
She dashed to the washroom fighting nausea; after all cockroach dissection was never easy!

| I am sparing myself the trip to washroom fighting nausea by not putting up an actual picture of cockroach dissection! |

I wasn't expecting a story of dissection - well done on the twist! I remember a rat and a grasshopper from school. It didn't bother me - I was just disturbbed that the white rat was yellow with formaldehyde!
