Yes, you read that correctly. Bed bug. Though to be fair, it’s probably not the kind you may be thinking of. Let me explain.
Last night, I was minding my own business, sitting peacefully on my bed and watching an episode of Parks and Rec. Right as I was laughing at another hilarious (& oftentimes, mean) joke that April Ludgate had dished, I noticed something black scrambling towards me.
