This is probably going to sound insane...
It's summer and every night I seem to be killing a mass amount of creatures that I'd rather not share my house with, so I had no problems with squishing a little black speck that seemed to be running up my monitor, however after lifting my finger it was still very much alive and upon closer inspection it was actually on the inside of my LCD monitor.
So my question is, is this even physically possible? Has anyone heard of some totally head fucking virus I might have contracted that could have put some virtual beastie on my screen or is this really an insect inside my monitor? I took a screen shot and it didn't show up on there, I've also tried pushing down on my screen where it is (not too hard, don't want to break the monitor), but it doesn't seem to phase it. If this is virtual or natural does anyone have any clue what to do? I assume if it's a real insect it will die in a day or so (unless it's some freaky thing that feeds on electricity) but I don't really want to be stuck with a dead black speck in the middle of my screen. Before anyone asks I am fully sober and am not taking any drugs or medication at this time, but after this I will probably need some.
