(140 Words, #33) Tommy the Bug

in 140 Words

Tommy was a bug. A big hairy audacious bug.

He loved his life. It was awesome. Flying about, touching things, leaving germs everywhere. The sort of thing bugs do.

But there was one thing Tommy loved best above all else.

Tommy loved to eat.

He would eat three times a day, or more! Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Elevenses. Oneses. Fiveses and Midnight snacks.

One day at the gates a tall handsome figure arrived.

Kaerig the Bug-Hunter.

Tommy wasn’t scared. He’d fooled Kaerig before. But that had been months ago. Kaerig looked like he’d come a long way.

Tommy flew away and hid. But Kaerig tracked him and found him.

Tommy escape again, by the hair of his chinny-chin chin. But again Kaerig tracked him down.

And with extreme prejudice, Tommy, a piece of rogue code, was squashed.

Had just fixed a gigantic bug, so this just rolled off the imagination :)
