The Monster in the Bottle Bin
It was awful. It was unexpected. It came out of a bottle of Parrot Bay. It was*…The Monster in the Bottle Bin!
I was sorting bottles one day, clear in one bin, colored in another. In my collating, I sighted up a clear glass bottle, probably of Parrot Bay, that looked like it had some sort of translucent object in it. I thought it was a tissue someone had jammed in the bottle. (People tend to jam all sorts of things in glass bottles before they recycle them. DO NOT DO THIS.) As I picked up the bottle, the translucent object–which was as big around as the base of the bottle–came alive. Where I had only before seen blurry white, I now saw legs, spines, a pair of claws or pincers, and other things that make you go “eww…” It contracted itself enough that it could slither through the neck of the bottle, eject itself onto the cover of the clear-bottle bin, and scurry under the lid.
I was able to get a better look at it in the fraction of a second it was in the air. It looked somewhat like a scorpion without a tail, or an albino porcupine-lobster. Either way, I wasn’t fucking going near that bin until it was changed. I initially thought I was hallucinating, but I wasn’t going to take any chances.
I never saw that creature again, but it lives in my mind ever still. That night, I went up north with some friends, and recounted the story to them. They had about the same reaction I did. It’s been about a month since I saw Lucifer’s spawn itself, yet the whole incident still chills me to the bone.
Oh, before I forget, a friend suggested that what I saw might be a silverfish. While it does have the same Satanic vibe about it, neither the silverfish or the house centipede have the claws/pincers I think I saw.
And what-the-fuck row 2 picture 4?
