Romance
It was the beginning of April when
we decided to find each other… inside a house. My parents always spoke of this
house as if it were the equivalent of heaven; food, Water and plenty of wood.
Faintly I smelt the decaying odors of insects and squirrels. Even some dropped
morsels. I couldn't take it; I had to investigate. So I helplessly blundered
into this unknown house; I was small enough to fit through the siding and
cracks. Dad was right; I found a glorious amount of food in the wall of the
house. As well as an array of other insects who where all talking about these
mammoth things they called “humans”. These humans all had a single goal: to
squash us; thus ending our lives.
I would have been horrified; but
there were always the spiders that ate guys like us. Then I saw her and it made
all life matter disappear. All sense of brains left my head as I found my
self-signing up for a competition against the humans and the object was not to
get squashed. You know how the saying goes “love can make you do crazy things.”
Well this was the coup de grace of stupidity I've ever seen my self sink low
enough to do. I didn't even know her name…
But pretty soon I was filed out
their on the bedroom floor right after the centipede. The human didn't even
notice the centipede; she was watching this really noisy screeching light box.
I ran across the floor with my heart in my throat and lucked out. At the other
side of the room; I could hear cheers where I ran. They were happy I made it
across the floor. As a victory they all feast; I looked back to where I ran
from and hoped that she would be there. I was going to run back to the other
side to say hello to the young maiden. But I was whisked away to something the
humans called a “trash bin.” Before I knew it; I found my self being carried up
the wall where the DROPPED me into this big black hole. I tried to dispatch my
wings and flutter them as my body hurled towards this unknown universe. But all
it did was soften the blow as I landed on a pile of zesty decaying matter. Is
this what they meant by “feast?”
My mind was taken away as I swam
through the rotten stinking matter collected in this wondrous hole humans
called a trash bin. I don’t even remember hearing the others shouting not to go
too far because this was the night this hole was transported to another world.
I smelt really eroding rotten matter the deeper I went. I hit the bottom of the
hole and started munching on a rotting fish tail. Suddenly I felt a shake just
like an earthquake and my eyes widened. I panicked and chewed a hole through
the bag as I fell onto the ground I ran around desperately trying to find the
exit; but I couldn't climb walls and I sure as shooting couldn't fly that high.
I was trapped helplessly and everything went silent. I could see my life flash
before my very eyes. This was the end of my little life; the human had spotted
me and was going to squash me.
In the process of five minutes I
was scooped up in a small tunnel and was trapped. I panicked more trying to
find a way out. But there was even a wall on the top of this container. That
was it; the human was going to pin me like my father had told me about before.
I kept running around the small compartment for hours until I just gave up in
escaping and waited for death.
It was a day later my compartment had
been picked up. Now three humans were staring at me and I gulped. What where
they going to do with me? I couldn't quite understand what they were saying and
I think if they could understand me; I’d be outside by now. But again I was set
down for another grueling four hours as one of the humans just sat there
staring at a light box and me. I finally decided to take a nap for the day.
All of a sudden I felt my self
tumbling down the container into a different larger terrain. It was mostly
smooth; but as I explored it. There was a small dome, a damp patch and… FOOD! I
ran as fast across this new heavenly spot and began to chow on this delicious
salty delicacy that had been left here all for me. This was every insects
dreams; a huge home with delicacies outside. This was what I was afraid of?
It must have been a week I was
truly living the life. This was my bachelor’s pad. My fitting home for a
possible suitor and my future kids. Boy, was I ever in for a surprise.
It was the next week and I was all
settled in; strutting around this mansion given to me when all of a sudden
something was dumped in my area. At first I was afraid it was a predator; so I
approached cautiously. But as I came closer I saw something that completely
pissed me off. It was she, the one I thought was so beautiful and he on top of
her.
I ran over there so fast and
knocked him off of her.
“ Let me show you how it’s really
done!” I had screamed out in anger.
