    He lived in the shadows, in the crevices of buildings and in the dark corners of the city. He was unnoticed, yet he was everywhere.

    One day, Roachie noticed a change. The city seemed hotter, the air drier. The climate was changing, and it was becoming hard for him to survive.

    He found less food, his hiding places became uncomfortably warm, and water became scarce. Life became a constant struggle for Roachie.

    He learned to conserve water, to eat less, and to stay in the shade during the hottest parts of the day. His resilience was truly remarkable.

    Slowly but surely, Roachie started adapting to the new climate. He found a cool, damp place under an old building where he could hide during the day.
