Billy was watching the game when the Cockroach appeared on the top of the TV. After a few minutes, Billy got tired of looking at the roach and found a newspaper. As he approached the TV with the rolled-up newspaper, the insect scurried away.
As Billy sat down to watch the game, the roach once again appeared on top of the TV. Billy shook his head. It was weird how the insect just stood there watching him.
"What do you want?" Billy said to the creature. Almost immediately, a complex thought entered his mind. The roach was from another planet.
Billy wasn't sure if the thought was a communication from the roach or his imagination, so he tried again. "How did you get here?" Billy asked aloud. Again a thought entered his mind. He could "see" a sophisticated space vessel of some kind.
"Why are you here?" Billy asked the roach. Billy saw a planet overcrowded with cockroaches. The point of the communication was clear. The roach creatures needed more room and Billy guessed that they were looking at Earth for that very reason.
Over the next few weeks, Billy got used to having to having the roach around and even enjoyed their "conversations", but one day his landlady walked in and smashed the roach with her purse.
Billy would miss the little guy.
