Scorpions are scary! I couldn't tell about my fear of scorpions. Is it stronger than my fear of cockroaches or corpses, ghosts, zombies, another pandemic? I think I have more fears than I'm willing to accept, ha ha ha ha.
Anyway, it's a good thing you're used to instant coffee so it's not big trauma, at least not as big as a poisonous and painful bite.
Loved your story, as usual! ☕🤎
