    They are, as said above, silverfish. They generally live in dark, damp areas so they're probably hiding out in a damp corner somewhere. They are totally harmless, and eat stuff like wood, the glue from books, that kind of thing. I've always had a soft spot for them; they look so cool, like tiny Cybermats.
