I knew it was a gecko!
I watched the little shadow emerge from behind the airconditioner and scuttle across the ceiling. I'm not sure what it's eating, but it's getting plenty. Georgi freaked out when it crawled down the wall behind her and looked at me through the glass. I tried communicating with it, but I don't speak the gecko dialect. It didn't respond to any of my gestures or facial expression. For all I know, it just wanted a staring contest.
I'm going to try to befriend it. It knows the secret to walking up walls, and I'm going to find out. If I could stick to the walls and ceiling, I could find out what's so exciting about the airconditioner, and what it is Lady Person hides on the top shelf of the cupboard. I could drop onto Guy Person's head when he's not expecting it! That'd be pretty damn funny.
Maybe I'd even find out where the bananas are kept. They're around here somewhere. No secret would be safe from... Wallfoot! Gluefoot, maybe? The Bug-Lizard... Buzzard? No. Super-hero names are hard.
I'll give it some thought.
Superly,
Mikey

Debris-ther
Guy Person led a noisy, odd-looking creature around the house today. I've seen it a few times before. It had a very long, flexible neck, and a crooked body in vibrant colours. It seemed quite intent on sniffing the floor.
What puzzled me most was its apparent lack of concern for the amount of debris it sucked up during its sniffing. The carpet was lovely and clean afterward, I'll grant you, but still, that can't have been pleasant. And imagine if I'd been wandering around at the time! Would it have simply inhaled me as well? I'm not as small as I used to be, so we would both suffer from such an encounter.
Glass walls can be advantageous for multiple reasons, and I'm grateful that Lady Person insists on my return to them.
Morbidly fascinated,
Mikey
