Day 122: 5 Minute Freewrite: Sunday-Prompt: Spa

in #freewrite6 years ago

Day 122: 5 Minute Freewrite Challenge initiated by @mariannewest. Sunday-Prompt: Spa

"Sensation Spa" was a popular tourist attraction. This was were you had the chance to perform a specific job for one day and to experience what it was like to be an important member of a colony, which was run by the queen. A total of 5,000-10,000 jobs were given daily; police to protect from intruders, builders, hunters for food and caretakers for the young. It was here, that you became one of them, to be a part of something spectacular; a once in a lifetime opportunity.

After the jobs were assigned, you were taken to a secret room. Special jackets were given to be worn, to show that you were one of them. To fully experience your day with heightened senses, you were given a sweet elixir to drink. These rules were a must, as it was the only way you were allowed to enter the colony. And once inside, you never knew who would be fortunate enough to meet the Queen.

This is a QUEEN Yellow Jacket Wasp. The Queen is the only yellow jacket wasp to have a black diamond shape near her waist and to have a row of black dots on each side of her abdomen. I was definitely the fortunate one, to meet the Queen.

Oh... such an interesting experience. Good thing the queen is so nice.... no sting... no bite for the new comer.

Yes, it was! And yes, I was very lucky that she and her protectors didn't sting me. When about a dozen of them swarmed around me, I took off. : )

Lol as I was reading I was trying to figure out if you were a bee or an ant. I was close. :-)

You caught on from the beginning. Good for you and yes, you were very close. : )

:-) Glad you were safe from the swarm. That could have ended badly.

Hi, I'm here to remind you of today's prompt: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-123-5-minute-freewrite-monday-prompt-fumigate
Quite enjoyed your story - such an original take!

Thanks so much and thanks for the prompt! : )

Hi there, I'm travelling back from Anarchapulco tomorrow and won't get home until late on Wednesday night. Could you possibly cover all the prompts this week and I'll return the favour next week?

Darn! I would love to help you but I am having dental work done tomorrow. I have to be put to sleep because my jaw is dislocated and it will probably take a week for me to recuperate. So sorry...really poor timing.

Okidok. Good luck with that. Sounds awfully painful.

Thanks. I am definitely not looking forward to it and will be glad when it is over. You have a safe trip back home.

Great writing! It's good that you found the QUEEN Yellow Jacket Wasp. Very nice one! ;)

Thanks for your kind compliment sis! I sure was lucky to see the Queen since the chances of that happening are slim. The others were protecting her and by the time I had about a dozen buzzing all around me, I took off before they had the chance to sting me. LOL! : )

You're welcome! Ha ha! You are so lucky! ;)
