The Mould That Ate My Apartment

It started out small.

Almost like a little coffee spot on the floor. No matter what anyone did, it didn’t go away. Then out of nowhere it faded, leaving the faint brown outline.

That’s when it appeared.

A small brown spot at first, just like the first one. Then it grew bigger and bigger every day. Bigger than my hand, then bigger than my head, then bigger than me! It grew so fast it ate the entire carpet of my apartment, and it slowly spread outwards until it consumed the entire apartment. It grew and grew until it spread unto the streets of Melbourne, and before you know it, it’ll take over the world!



Okay, so maybe I exaggerated a little bit.

It was still big enough to warrant renovations and render me homeless and dependent on the goodwill of friends. I almost feel like a nomad.

Perhaps I am not as adaptable as I used to be.

  1. That sounds like an awesome title for a B-grade horror flick... "The Mould That Ate My Apartment"!

    It's just one of those things, hey. Maybe a bit of bleach early on might have killed it, but mould is quite aggressive apparently.

  8. I should make my way to Arrows, but some part of me really, really doesn't.

    It's almost like I'm clinging on to the remnants of my life here.

    Ironic, when the difference is 500 m.

  13. It was mould. They've ripped up the carpets, so it's gone now thankfully... It's just that now the apartment's carpet-less and inhabitable!

  23. first time commentor here. hope u dont mind :)
    this entry reminds me of a stephen king 's novel (title tak ingat).

    right after the molds take over the better half of the room, they'd give birth to maggots. ish. if that's the case, get a good exorcist. :D
