Snap! The light went on. “What type of pet are you looking for?”
Fred grinned at Sam,“Cute.”
Sam squeezed Fred’s hand.“Ferocious enough to scare burglars away.”
“Griffin?,” suggested Sally.
Sam watched it flutter. “Too many feathers.”
“How about a kraken?”
“Cleaning the tank would be onerous.”
Sally pointed, “This one doesn’t need much care, just a few crumbs. And it’s guaranteed to scare people.”
The brown creature waved its six legs and wiggled two antennae. Sam and Fred’s eyes met.
“Gorgeous,” Sam whispered in awe.
Fred put his arm around Sam. “A cockroach is perfect.”
