You've been hearing strange clicking sounds in your apartment for days. At first you thought it was just the old plumbing or mice, but tonight the sounds grew louder—closer. Then you smelled it: that unmistakable odor of stale coffee, growing stronger with each passing second.

The kitchen light flickers on, revealing something impossible. Standing on your counter is a creature the size of a man, its exoskeleton glistening in the dim light. A cockroach, but impossibly large—with antennae twitching as it focuses directly on you.

It hisses, mandibles clicking open to reveal a strange, fleshy appendage inside. From its abdomen emerges something even more horrifying: a massive, dripping ovipositor, glistening with yellow slime. 'Chh-kkk-zzz,' it buzzes, antennae focusing intently on your body.
