Attack!!

A Story by b_for_bradley

The story of a vicious siege and an enemy that seems invincible.

Recently, the homeland had been under attack. The enemy, immune to all their defenses, would steal food and resources before retreating. The entire population was outraged. Guards had been posted and a system of early warning had been established.

Not long after sunrise, the enemy was spotted. A mass assault was ordered. By the time the colonies boundaries had been crossed, nearly every able warrior was on the offensive. They rushed out by the hundreds and fought with fervor, but nothing could pierce the enemy’s thick armor.

One particularly eager warrior realized the futility of his actions, and sought an alternative approach. He traveled along the flank of the enemy before he spotted a weak spot in the enemy’s armor. This was his opportunity! With all his might, he charged into the weak spot and launched his largest attack. The enemy was severely wounded, but unfortunately began to retaliate.

“Ouch!” I exclaimed. One of the honeybees must have gotten inside by suit. I smushed the bee inside my sleeve, finished collecting the honey combs, and left.
