5. Can’t Touch This

  In no place in particular, an egg hatched and from it emerged a grub.

  —w—

  The grub, finding itself surrounded by its choice of food, ate.

  —h—

  It engorged itself, rested, digested, and grew. Until a day later, it began to pupate.

  —a—

  The grub became a fly. And as a fly, it flew around.

  —t—

  The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  The fly found food. It ate. It grew.

  —r—

  The fly found a mate and laid eggs in food.

  —a—

  The fly flew around, in search of food. It was a nuisance, and large creatures tried to swat at it, but it always seemed to dodge.

  —c—

  The fly grew fat.

  —e—

  It was a most successful fly and had made mates and laid many eggs.

  —a—

  The fly began to slow. Its biological processes no longer working effectively. Its chitin drying out.

  —m—

  The fly found a quiet place. It landed and rested.

  Ding!

  


  You have died.
