“Folks, this is the little starter home I told you about. It was built in 2012, features several compartments for a growing family, has numerous flower gardens nearby filled with juicy caterpillars, and is only a short flight from the entertainment district.”
“I don’t know,” said Wanda. “I was hoping for something with more of a view.”
“Just look at this rock work, ma’am. Beautiful, smooth, shiny stones, and running water just outside your door.”
“Are there many humans nearby?” asked Warren.
“Yes, it’s only two minutes from a golf course.”
“What do you think, Wanda?”
“Perfect. We’ll take it.”

I’ll call your watering hole and have them drop one in your next cocktail. You know, sort of like the worm in the tequila.

Dear Bugsell,
You’ve done it again. Made me chuckle. As I’ve always suspected. Those wicked creatures are little stealth bombers. Flying for cover now.
Shalom,

I hated not being able to lead in with an introduction. It’s often more fun to write than the story itself, and I don’t have to worry about that blasted word count.

So funny, Russell! It’s always a pleasure to read your work. I love your description of the place. How could they possibly turn it down?

Golf course line is terrific, as I recall from my long ago days of playing golf. Perhaps it was multiple exposures to bees on the golf course that kept me from being phobic about them.Very funny piece throughout, Russell!

Excellent, Russell. I’m sure we’ll “bee” reading more from you.

I can imagine Wanda in Cat eye glasses and a bouffant hairdo – And Warren in a tam O’santer and white socks and penny loafers on four of his six appendages. Yeah I know they’re wasps but that’s the vision you painted for me 🙂
The story Alastair and I are penning is keeping me on the edge of my seat too. I’ve got to write the next follow up!

I’d love you them in those outfits. It would make a great cartoon.
