The Black Day

The Black Day

There was this day when everything went black for them, they couldn’t understand why there weren’t human footsteps above them anymore, or that spray in which they couldn’t breathe, and made them die and why they were finding all those monstrous amounts of food which where all for them, and no one to share with. When a little cockroach notice the situation, he went with his father down at the rock were they had been living and he told him what had happened, they were at first scared of going out of it, because they didn’t know if it was safe for them. After some time, they realized there was no other living thing but cockroaches in the whole world. Taking advantage of the situation, the little cockroach, and his father, along with other 20coackroach went to explore the super market were they usually went to get food with the fear of being killed by the humans. When they entered they used the same techniques they used when the world was ruled by the humans, preventing the death of any of them, but they realized it was really empty that place, there was no one that could harm them anymore. After some time for the cockroaches of being the kings of the supermarket and maybe of the world a mouse appeared, and no one knows where from. This mouse was a big, but gentle mouse, he was alone and all by himself; when the mouse found all of these cockroaches he was really happy to see them, but the cockroaches reacted completely different they had made a plan to kill him or made him leave because all they wanted was the food for themselves, they were selfish, so they started to act really aggressive to him. So they mouse started to think, if they were not going to be friendly, and share some food with him he would have to make a plan to terminate them. The mouse gave the cockroaches one last opportunity he went to talk to the leader, Gaston. The mouse offered him a deal, the cheese section would be for him, and they could have everything else. Gaston thought it was a good plan, but he had to consult the other cockroaches. when they heard what the plan was, they refused to share what was theirs with the mouse, so they decided to attack the mouse and kill him, but mouse was bigger and stronger, so when they starting to attack, just with the move of his tail he injured 5 cockroaches so they started to leave and hide because they got really surprised of the mouse´s power. After that the mouse went looking for Gaston, and told him that the only thing that he wanted was to have some friends and a little food, he also told Gaston that he didn’t had any bad intensions or that he didn’t wanted to harm them, so this time Gaston didn’t even consulted with the rest of the cockroaches and accepted the mouse´s deal.

That was how the cockroaches learned the lesson that even though they were the owners of the supermarket, they had to share some food with the mouse and any other animal that could had survived the black day.
