Today’s memory changes up a bit. Instead of a previously published poem, here is a short story from May, 2019. It is an example of micro fiction (with 115 words). Enjoy!

A famished black bear rummages through the thick, overgrown forest. His endless appetite resembles a midnight thief raiding the fridge for a sweet tasting snack.
His ravenous mood brings him to an ancient tree trunk, containing a large opening. The tree might as well display a flashing sign: HONEY!
The bear’s sweet tooth needs to be satisfied, but before he can explore further . . . a warning signal vibrates through the inside of the tree.
The colony of honeybees has been notified that an intruder has arrived at their honey factory: HONEY ALERT!
A swarm of bees flies into attack position. The lead striker says, “We have the target in sight.”
GO! GO! GO!
A lovely piece of writing. I enjoyed the courage of the bees. Have a great day.😊

Suzette, I am pleased you enjoyed the adventure at the honey tree. Yes, the bees rallied to defend their home. I would like to think the bear soon had enough and left them alone.

Diana, thanks for stopping in. The story is one of my older ones, and it was effective with its short and sweet style. I will continue to post previously published short stories once in awhile on Monday’s. Take care and I pray those nasty hurricanes stay away from you.
