Give me something to write about

Seriously. An idea for a very short narrative, or something. Do it, and if you're nice, I'll share it with you.

Roaches vs. Chiggers: The Bug Wars 2006

**CosmicPal** · 10-10-2006, 01:31 AM

Write a short narrative of you discovering Jim Morrison is alive and well and living in a tenement outside St. Petersburg, Russia.

He's 62 years old now and has been out of the public eye since, of course, 1971.

You somehow coax him into talking with you as you've "been on his trail for the past few years" when someone in a Paris joint blatantly mentioned Jim was still alive and that he met him at a bar and Jim told him he was planning an elaborate, foil-proof, plan to fake his own demise and go into hiding on what was supposedly his last night on earth.

The story is then nothing but a remarkable conversation with a historical rock legend who's now making himself public.

All joking aside, I'd love to read that. You should work on it, Cosmic. If you're into that sort of thing.

The benefits of a reach-around?

Actually, It's one of those stories I've been considering. As soon as I'm done with SWM, I'd love to go back and do some reseach on the Doors and Jim Morrison and then consider something like that.

        General Jones chewed at his chiggar nervously, having declined the offer of a light. The problems were almost too much to deal with, and the smoke would only be a distraction to the serious work that was to be undertaken. The time had come to launch the offensive, but things had gone awry quickly and monumentally.
        "What we need, sir, is--", the Captain was cut off by the Major.
        "What we need, Al, is a few capable officers who won't allow us to be overrun by a bunch of no-good cockroaches. Those bastards have taken far too many good mites' lives for us to sit back here twiddling our thumbs."
        "I understand, General, but our only remaining option is to launch Operation Autumn."
        "No. I refuse to believe that such drastic measures are necessary just yet."
        "We've lost millions of soldiers on the eastern front in the past few hours alone. If we don't do something drastic now, we may not have the chance later."
        "Very well, inform everyone and start preparations. This will be a defining day in our history; if we're lucky enough to even have a history in the coming weeks."
        In the roach command HQ on the eastern front, the mood was considerably less tense. After a resounding victory earlier, all were feeling confident of their ability to eventually quash the pests once and for all. Unbeknownst to them, annihilation lay just hours away. Commandant Jacoby was delivering a speech to a gathering of thousands of soldiers when he received word of the birth of his children. He received his congratulations and settled down to rest, when his good friend, Lt. Eskandarion, arrived.
        "So Jake, how are the bouncing bundles?"
        "Oh, they're great, Ted. Thirty boys and fifteen girls, can you believe it?"
        "That's amazing. I'm sure the first thing you're going to do when this unpleasantness is over is run right out and introduce them to their daddy."
        "You know it, Ted. So, how are things going out there?"
        "The war could be over by the end of the day, and if the grapevine was accurate, we may be giving them a chance to surrender within the next couple of hours."
        "Wonderful, Ted. I want to get back home as soon as possible."
        "You know, we're not so different from them, and it's a shame we have to fight in the first place. They have such spirit, and I can’t help but admire them; even if they would rather see me dead than breathing."
        "War is hell, but we have to win to preserve our way of--do you hear something?"
        "I--what is that?"
        At that precise moment, the two roach officers, as well as upwards of forty thousand other roach soldiers, were all but erased from existence. Never would Commandant Jacoby see his latest, and final, batch of children, and never would Ted, an aspiring artist prior to being drafted, write another poem. The enormous collection of millions of kamikazes spelled an immediate, total end to the bloodiest war in the history of McCormack Park. They were crushed, but in doing so, crushed the brunt of the roach army. Bodies of heroic insects were strewn about the countryside.
        Operation Autumn was an unmitigated success, but with a cost of countless lives and much pain and suffering. The bodies of heroic insects were strewn about the countryside, with nothing to show for their efforts in the end but a return to the previous status quo. A cease fire was drawn up and enacted at once, and an uneasy peace remained until the winter.

See, people? Was it really so hard to take things seriously for a moment?

**Smed1065** · 10-10-2006, 02:13 AM

I understand some but I work for orkin and it takes time to kill roaches. they lay eggs and nothing penetrates the egg cells which last up to 6 months. Good theory but if the teacher has knowledge, it might be downgraded to a C because of the no research...

Not trying to down you, but facts are facts....

Ultra Peanut · 10-10-2006, 02:14 AM

You misunderestimated the fight in these chiggers' hearts. Total annihilation means TOTAL ANNIHILATION when they set their minds to it.

**KcMizzou** · 10-10-2006, 02:16 AM

Roaches are vile, nasty creatures. They creep me out. I'm glad the chiggers won.
