The Life of Karl, the Iguana

Yesterday, as I was innocently resting on my perch, I was approached by a hideous beast.  It is only now that I feel comfortable talking about it.  24 hours have passed and still, I shiver.

The fiend approached with a clatter and proceeded to insert a portion of its body into the wall.  This appendage was long and thin and appeared to be attached to its base.  The beast was approximately 1 meter in height, thinner at the top than at its bottom.  Some sort of tubing was coiled at its back.  Like me, its hue was of the greenish sort.  This thing was massive!

Shortly after it tehered itself to the wall, it began making this deafening sound.  It seemed to move around my domain, seemingly blind to my presence.  I must have been in a great hiding place.  Back and forth, this demon roamed, eating everything in its path.  Forward and back, by my waste container, by my food dish, past the portal to the outside world, closer and closer to my location…

Then suddenly, it halted its advance and removed its appendage from the wall, perhaps preparing itself for departure (I hoped).  It retracted its appendage and moved to a position next to the wall.  There it has remained dormant since its tirade.  I dare not approach it for fear it will unleash a second one, perhaps more detrimental to my health.

The ground is now clean, though.
