After nine weeks in Korr I have at last seen my first
scorpion. I was just walking back from the shower and saw the elusive creature
in my torch beam. He was about 10cm long and a light orangey colour. I quickly
ran to tell the others and Nick jumped up to come to my rescue. However, I’d
run not out of fear but out of excitement; I wanted to share my discovery! It
took some time to relocate Mr Scorpion who then came to a sudden death under
Obailey the night watchman’s sandal! In the drama of it all I forgot to take a
photo.
Fear not, unlike in the poem with the same name as this post, I wasn't bitten!
Exciting! I hear that it's the little ones that you have to watch out for - always check your shoes before you stick them on!
