Flash 55 - Nature's Vampire


~ click image to make biggerer ~

He hovered in mid-air, 
wings set to backstroke and legs dangling, searching for a footing in the alien world
 he now found himself. 
The bright red globe invited him to land and rest; to collect his energy to venture further on in search of the red that would truly satisfy his hunger and his thirst.


 I know it’s not a mosquito but lets pretend.



Flash 55 - Write a story in exactly 55 words.

    I love that you captured a bug in that great photo. Enlarging it just makes it all the more awesome.

    Nice. I love the concept of "nature's vampire." That's exactly what they are, but I never would have thought of it. Very clever.

    No! I refuse to pretend. Do you have any idea how many mosquito bites I got last week?

    i think a male mosquito would be quite pleased with the tomato plant. it's the females who are after the blood
