Carnies

Despite their rat-like appearance, carnies are kings among men.

this one time I opened my cupboard and found a carnie standing on the shelf fighting with a cockroach over a piece of pasta that fell out of the box

the carnie ripped the cockroach's legs off and sat there eating them while the cockroach lay wiggling

then the carnie took very small bites out the cockroach and it took like 5 minutes to eat it in little pieces

then the carnie looked right into my eyes, and froze. I froze too.

Then I closed the cupboard door and haven't gone into the room since
