Start writing here…Not in Education, Employment or Training; NEET. This was the summation of Gango’s current life. The boy was simply a looser, he had no future prospects whatsoever. Having flunked high school some four years prior, all Gango had done with his life since then was watch TV, play video games and gain some weight, not in a good way. The boy was so thick he had his own orbit.

One particular night when he felt the munchies creeping up on him, Gango dragged his body into the kitchen, there were some left over pork chops, potato salad and pasta. Stepping into the kitchen Gango received the shock of his life. With no regard whatsoever for the sanctity of his home were two giant roaches mating on the kitchen table in full view for all to see.

Gango huffed and puffed making a beeline for the bug spray, he was going to eradicate these vermin! Pointing the nozzle at the bugs itching to let loose the pesticide, Gango felt some strange sympathy for the procreating roaches, the male roach in particular. What if he was a DT, what if this was his first time getting some? Gango knew all too well the pain of being a DT, getting taunted by the other boys for being a virgin. What if the male roach has also been taunted by the other males and now, he was finally getting laid. He couldn’t possibly kill him now, not when he was getting some, winning one for the team.

This was a beautiful thing happening on his kitchen table. Two beings or in this case, creatures coming together to merge as one and do the deed. These were god’s creatures, they had every right to mate just as humans do, and there was no need for the bug spray.

Another thought hit Gango. What if this male roach had been chasing after the lady roach for days or weeks now? What If the poor sod had been providing the lady roach with his premium food crumbs in hopes that she would see that he was flash and maybe give him some head but instead she’d been chowing his crumbs then dodging him instead? Having experience first-hand the pain of wowing a female with expensive gifts in hopes to get laid but not get anything in return was an all too familiar concept to Gango. He was a looser but he wasn’t heartless, killing a fellow brother in a moment of triumph wasn’t an option.

Watching the two roaches go at it, a sudden disturbing thought overcame him, what if this wasn’t a consensual act. This could have very well been a rape case being perpetrated right before his eyes. Gango was stupefied, do animals even have rape crimes he wondered.

From his visits to the rurals, Gango remembered witnessing a rape crime. He had seen a cock chased down, capture and forcefully mount a hen without any consent being given, but they were non sentient creatures so rape would be an unfamiliar concept to them. If he decided to spray, he would inadvertently kill the female as well. This would be an inhumane act of killing a victim

Then again, what if the female wasn’t a victim here? There was still a possibility that both roaches were actually sentient and knew what they were doing and the weight of their actions but still chose to disregard them. This could have very well been adultery being committed right before his eyes. Both roaches could have been married and cheating on their spouses, skimming on the side. How would their families and spouses feel about this entire ordeal?

A burning rage welled up inside of Gango. He pressed down on the nozzle releasing the deadly chemical thus eliminating the vermin with extreme prejudice. Consensual or not, how could these roaches have the audacity to blatantly engage in sex on his kitchen table. They were mocking him. How dare they screw on his table when Gango himself hadn’t been laid in years?!
