The Wire spans 6 years . . .
which extends beyond the average cockroach lifetime . . .
and things don't end well for Omar.
A better option might be The Metamorphosis by Kafka. . .
the 1915 novella where the guy turns into a bug and
has an existential crisis . . .
Alright, bad idea. Kafka is probably above the average roach reading level.
How about this . . .
Heat up some leftovers and stream the 1997 movie Mimic.
In a misguided attempt to rid Manhattan of diseased cockroaches . . .
a genetically modified, roach-killing insect, the Judas breed is released into the city.
The Judas breed rapidly evolves to mimic humans because . . .
well, that remains a bit unclear . . .
but primarily because they look really creepy standing on the subway platforms.
Needless to say, the human consequences are considerable.
So, while the roaches are feeling superior to the genetically-interfering bipeds . . .
the exterminators can sneak up, whack them in the head . . .
and no more roaches!
Even better, the reassurance that you have behaved in a civilized manner
and therefore should receive some leniency from the roach overlords after they take over the word.
As a bonus, there are plenty of little supine carcasses.
Any other problem I can solve?
