For the past two months, my flat has been under invasion. A troupe of ants has found an access point via the molding on my ceiling by my front door. I bought ant traps. I placed them in strategic places. I delayed their pursuit for a few days. They have made it to my computer desk. This worries me because I frequently see two or three mosey in between the keys on my macbook. I then pinch them up and flick them toward the trash can.  

Will they get inside my electronic vessel of life? What's it like in there to them? Are they even inside of it or are they just teasing me by making it known that they can get inside if they choose to do so? Will they make a nest in there? Do ants even make nests? There is an ant trap on my desk. Why don't they just go there? Maybe I should decorate it or put some food crumbs near it so they will have more incentive to check into their little Hotel California. Maybe they're just exploring. I'm sure they've never gotten to walk on a macbook before. Does my apple care warranty apply to ant occupation? 

I can't get that scene from Beetlejuice out of my head where he shrinks down to the size of the model city and is chilling with some cockroaches by a whorehouse. I'll wait it out. Until my macbook turns into an ant brothel, I will continue to curse and flick the tiny things away like pessimistic thoughts on a sunny day.
