A Deadly Encounter

The monster looked me in the eye and I dared not flinch. I gripped the frying pan tighter, ready to move quick if it tried to attack. But did I have enough strength to do it? Maybe running away would be the wiser option. I looked on at it, contemplating my chances. I betrayed no fear, though it was a wonder I didn't crap my pants. Suddenly it made a move. I screamed. Right then, the maid arrived with a bug repellent and killed the stupid lizard.
