The Wasp

A Story by Lauren Woodrum
"

Bugs. I really hate bugs.

"
    Almost every evening I take a walk down to the old mail box to see how much junk mail they can stuff into my tiny little metal box, but this evening was a little different. After I made it back to my apartment I was enjoying a glass of tea on the couch while talking to  my momma on the phone. When all of a sudden I glance down at the floor to see a WASP crawling out of the bottom of my pants! My first thought you may ask? Well to rip my pants off of course! Just in case he had any travel buddies. Luckily he was flying solo. Next order of business was to destroy this intruder who obviously was a little too close for comfort. So I grabbed a bottle of Lysol kitchen spray and went to town on that little spawn of Satan! Needless to say, he died, a slow, painful death. And let it be known to all of you other nasty little critters. You can buzz around my head, or land on my arm, but stay OUT of my pants!

Author's Note

I am not by any means a professional writer. I may not have the best technique and my grammar is not the best. I only hope to bring a smile to someone's face. I have a thick Appalachian accent and I write how I speak. So if you read my stories with a southern accent in mind it adds to the effect. ;)

Definately did bring a smile to my face :)
I like how you wrote in a way that felt natural to you, it gave your writing a strong authentic feel, and that is awesome :)
I'm not a professional myself, but if I can give any advice, I'd just say try break your writing down into paragraphs, it just makes it easier for people to read.
But at the end of the day writing should be fun.
It was fun little story to read nonetheless :)
