A selection of Bugs
Leftovers
Gina knew she shouldn’t have been late–miss feeding time with her crowd, and all you got was leftovers . . .
A Little Loopy
Edward was suddenly feeling a little loopy. The nectar must have been here a little longer than usual and fermented. Imagine that; false dragonhead blooms beer! Would this, he wondered, be considered a micro brew . . . ?
Costume Party
It had been a strange costume party; everyone had come dressed as an assassin. But hey, everyone there was an assassin bug, what could you expect? Still, thought Herman (the host), it would have been nice if someone had been an Elvis , a Mick Jagger, perhaps Madonna, or maybe had worn a Richard Nixon or a Barack Obama mask. But that, thought Herman, was the problem in throwing a party for insects–the hive mentality ran strong . . .
As You Wish
When Buttercup told Westley she thought they should only have three or four hundred children, Westley said, “In the first year?” When she said, “Yes”, he simply said, “As you wish.”
Therefore I Am
Kendra’s friends all teased her unmercifully about having sat down in the orange paint, even inferring that perhaps she was not qualified to be a bee. Her only answer was “I buzz, therefore I am . . . “
Darth Vader Impersonator
Kenny had been talked into going in a Darth Vader costume to the Star Wars convention by his friends, including the drama teacher from his community college. They told him the dark makeup would wash right off, but apparently they hadn’t read the directions–it didn’t come right off. Always ready to help, they then suggested he compete in the dark star or black hole competition . . .
