[insert a duck here]

It is during times like this that I feel as if I’m the bravest person in the world. 

Minute-by-minute play: 
9.59pm - flipis* spiderman-ing the wall
10.00 - conveniently, the flipis was in between the wall and a stack of post-its, so I swat the stack
10.00 - the flipis is temporarily immobilized, struggling on its back
10.01 - I run for liquid soap (to achieve a clean-ish killing, a tip I learned from my dear friend, Racela)
10.01 - I pour liquid soap onto the mouth/face of the flipis, with my hand a mile away (just to be on the safe side)
10.02 - flipis struggles and almost gets to turn over
10.03 - I call for backup! helper to the rescue!
10.03 - I pour some more liquid soap
10.04.38pm, Nov. 4, Friday - Death of Flipis
10.05 - helper arrives
10.06 onwards - please call me Carlyn, madame ruler of the world, thankyouverymuch. haha
