The Waggle Dance
Joan lived on the thirteenth floor. You could feel the tower block swaying. However what worried me the most, was that Joan believed she was a queen bee. She told me that she was just waiting for some worker bees to fly past on a warm day. I found myself wondering how high do bees fly. I found myself suggesting as it was snowing, she might accompany me to a warm hospital bed, where she could hibernate until spring arrived. Then she asked me would I be one of her worker bees. I found myself dancing the waggle dance…
Not a very pleasant scenario..
Hi Reena, definitely not a good scenario, to many people have to face evil
Trapped in her hive…
And hoping for warm weather to escape
And now there’s no telling whose world is the real one
And that is the truth of the matter
Dear Michael,
It sounds like this queen bee could be very convincing no matter how delusional.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Indeed Rochelle, to many people are having to face the forces of evil, from delusional dictators
I love the imagination and imagery here, Michael.
Linda, it was great to read that, thank you
Interesting take. When you look at the tower as though it were a hive it opens all new ideas.
It certainly does, thank you Christine
i see a flag on top of the tower. did you plant it after meeting with the queen bee? 🙂
Perhaps it was or is flag of surrender. It was good to hear from you
Intriguing story, Michael. I feel really sorry for this bloke. I hope he manages to make a speedy getaway.
Best wishes,
Rowena
Me to as long as he does not try to fly
One of those connections that you know are doomed one way or another, but you plunge on anyway. “The tale of two cities…”
“The tale of two cities” is an old favourite of mine. I have sent much of today shifting my library of books
He’s caught in her honey trap. I really like this story.
Thank you Jilly, I am pleased to read your comment Mike
