A Cricket in the Kitchen

Wait. What’s that sound?

Man, this old house—creaks and clicks, thumps and bumps…

But this sound is new. Well, I haven’t heard it in a long while anyway.

Is it the florescent under-cabinet lighting heating up and shifting?


Or wait! Ah! It’s a cricket! 


It gets quiet as I get closer to the sound as I search for it—so like Cricket!


I think it’s right here… 


It’s lucky, I’ve heard—a cricket in the house…


I think I’ve got it cornered now… slowly moving forward…


Oh. 

It’s just my water bottle equalizing pressure out its squeeze-top…

Funny. Fun. 

Life of a cyclist…
