I was asleep, but somehow I felt my hand brushing the right side of my neck. I thought I felt something creeping, but didn't give it much thought. Then, I felt it. The pain. It got more and more painful by the minute. So, I jumped out of the bed and turned the light on. It was swelling, and I still didn't know what it was that bit me.
Turned the pillows, nothing. Looked under my macbook box, and there it was, trying to run away. A centipede. I think I panicked for a second when I saw it. Then I realized that I needed to kill it, otherwise I won't be able to have a peace of mind going back to sleep with it still lurking around.
Before I could hit it with a pencil box, it disappeared. I looked under the bed, couldn't spot it because it was dark. I wasn't going back to bed until I killed that creature. After a few minutes, it did appear, this time on the floor. I quickly hit it with the pencil box, silently cursing. I kept hitting it until I was convinced it was dead.
Dead.
It took me probably about an hour before being able to go back to sleep. The pain was just intense, being stung by a honey bee is better. Luckily, I wasn't allergic.
It's still slightly swollen and I could still feel the pain. That was the first for me, and I surely hope it's the last.
