Bees!


"Budderfwies?"
"Bees!"


"My fellow apiologists are about to be so jealous."



*pulls back shower curtain* "Hey--stop screaming--it's me, we need to start running. The bees have managed to get in the house."



"This better count towards my entomology PhD."



"Hey so awkward, but suddenly important question. Do you have an EpiPen, or, if you're allergic to bees too, two EpiPens?"



*incoherent screaming*



"It's times like these that I wish I could remember which kid was allergic to bees."



*looking at my fellow classmates* "Guess we're about to see survival of the fittest at work."



"Will you bee my valentine?"
"That's so terrible."
"Yes, but not as terrible as the swarm of bees headed for us."



"Do my old eyes deceive me or is that a slow enclosing swarm of bees?"



"Run! There's a swarm of bees headed right for us!"
"We should be grateful. Bees are like, endangered you know."
"Shut up, Charlotte."



"Can you believe people look at that and are like 'That'd make a sexy Halloween costume'?"
"Can you beelieve?"
"I'm leaving you behind."
"Beehind?"



"Yaasss! Bees! Come to me! I will be your new queen!"



"Hey so remember how in Jupiter Ascending they said bees could recognize and obey royalty?"
"I can't believe that was your take away from that movie, but yes."
"Cool so are you royal by any chance?"
"No, why?"
"Oh I was just hoping there was a way out of our approaching situation."



"You know, when that fortune teller said my love of honey would be the death of me, this isn't how I pictured it going down."



"I wonder if Winnie the Pooh ever had this problem."



"Now, class, the bees are more scared of us than we are of them."
"Lies!"



"We gotta go now, there is a swarm of bees headed straight for us."
"You know, I've heard bee venom therapy is really healing."
"I'm not waiting for you."



"Forecast today calls for partly cloudy skies filled with bees."



"Plant some flowers they said, it'll be fun they said."



"Some may see bees as lovely flying creatures who dine on the sweet nectar of delicate flowers. I see them as dive bombing devils with stingers who want to kill me. In this essay I will..."



"Guess there's no time like the present to figure out if I'm allergic to bees."



"This is how the world ends. Not with a bang, but with a swarm of bees."



*lawnmower makes a bad noise* "Huh, I wonder what I mowed over...oh no."



"What's black and yellow and headed right for us?"
"Bees?"
"Bees!"



"Have you ever thought of rocking that retro beehive hair style?"
"No, why?"
"Well, you're about to."



"Maybe I'll finally figure out why their knees are supposed to be the best."



*dramatically takes out camera* "I may end up with nerve damage, but the close up shots I'm about to get will be worth it."



"Bees!"
"Those are clearly wasps."



"You know, if I play this right, I can find the truly best source of honey."



"I always thought it was ants that were supposed to ruin a picnic."



*shrugs* "Guess I'll die then."


"Bzzz bzzz."
"What are you doing?"
"Trying to trick them into thinking I'm one of them."
"That'll never work."
"Not with that attitude."



"Fire!"
"What?! Where?!"
"Nowhere! We just need it to kill these things!"



"Do you have a favorite insect?"
"No, but I think I'm about to have a least favorite."



"What's about to be red and pained all over?"
"Us?"
"Us."

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's ÊpÊe , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
