Hello, good morning. This is the fifth link up post! This subject will be “What if I were an insect what would I be and why?”.  I think this will be a very fun subject.  I chose to be a bee, it seemed like a cool insect so I chose it.  I would be a worker bee. They gather food for the hive and in the process, pollinate flowers.

Today I am out to pollinate flowers, the queen said she needed it to make  larva.  So I buzzed out and gathered some roses’ pollen and brought it back. The queen was a little angry I didn’t get more for her because  I was her main worker bee.  She sent me back out to gather from the tulips, ten of them. I flew back to the hive and gave the pollen to my queen. After a long day I ate some honey and rested.

The next day I woke up to a loud sound and thought “oh no!” Could it be the raiders I’ve heard so much about? Those with that vapor they spray that makes us unable to move? As I started moving toward the exit and was thinking about the raiders attacking us, it happened. The vapor was oozing in to all the areas of the hive! I couldn’t move! They took our food that we all worked so hard to make! I had never lived through a raid from the vapor before, I had only been told about it by the senior worker bees.

The queen instructed us that we had to go out and gather as much pollen as we could hold!  So, off we went to gather from the daisy patch. I quickly flew back and gave it to my queen and headed back out for more.  That day we all worked even harder than normal.

After that day, our routine was somewhat normal until last month. I knew it was going to happen, eventually.  A month ago yesterday, I got challenged for my rank as the best worker bee. The queen said to be deemed the best worker bee,  we must gather as much pollen as we could and whoever brought back the most got the title. When it was time we darted out to get the pollen and raced to all of the flowers we could! I ended up winning, but he almost won.  He was a younger bee though, so he could not hold as much as I could, so I won.  But if he was a little older, the results might have been different!

Things went along normal until the queen had a female larva, from that day on we knew that one day the larva would become a bee and challenge our queen to a death match. I was sure that our queen would win, so I went on with my duties as the primary worker bee. When the larva grew up, as we all knew she would, she challenged our queen and they fought! First it seemed that the younger queen was winning but then the tide turned when our present queen gave a hard blow to the other queen. It seemed she had won for sure!  Then the younger queen lunged up and attacked our queen again! It went back and forth like this for a while.  It was getting harder and harder for our queen. The younger queen gave some fierce attacks and our queen was hurt badly.  The younger queen knew that the queen had showed her mercy at times so she didn’t take out our queen, but she did win the fight and took half the worker bees and started a new colony!

I remained with my queen and was still her main worker bee.  But I was getting old too. Last week, I was attacked by a group of wasps and they stung me a ton of times. I almost died, but a group of my worker bee friends found me and rescued me! They carried me back to the hive and tried to help me get well. And it appeared to being working but I’m just too tired to continue to perform my duties as a worker bee. So, today, I retired and I’m moving to Florida.

I hope you liked my post, I loved writing it, until next time!

I’m linked with the Live and Learn Farm Middle / High School Creative Writing LinkUp.

Hello and good morning, this article is for our 3rd Middle and High School linkup. For the first linkup I posted My bucket list and the second one was What would I do if I was locked in Wal-mart Overnight? Finally, this one is “What would I do if I could see through walls”.  It sounded like a fun, but harder subject for us to write about. But, as I thought of what I could say, it became even harder in my head.

I moved to a remote desert location. Why? So I couldn’t see into stuff that was not my business. Once I got settled, I needed a job. So, I contacted a government official and told him about my power to see through walls. I asked for a job as a spy. If he hired me, I would go to wherever he needed me to be. I would spy on the targets, then return to my remote desert home for rest.

I was hired by the CIA to be their spy. I traveled around the world and saw many things for many years. It was a lonely life. I really wanted to live a normal life. A life with neighbors and friends. As the days rolled on I decided to give this life up. I quit my job and moved back to my desert home. But, it was just as lonely out here. I had to figure this out!

One day I realized that I could choose when to see through walls and not! Why wouldn’t it work when I was spying for the government? I tried many times then and it would not work! This means I no longer have to live out in a remote wasteland. I can move into civilization and become an average citizen. I can go eat out, make a friend or two and a ton more stuff I never could do in the remote area I had lived.  I love the life of having friends and fun but it still seems like I am missing something. I don’t know what it is but I feel like it’s big.

I kept on every day, but my life still seemed empty. But one day a young man offered me a job at a store. I thanked him for his offer, but I declined. As I slowly walked away, the man called and said “Wait there is a job for manager too!” I turned around and looked at him and thought this might be what I needed so I accepted his offer and joined the store as a manager. I had found it, what was missing… it was a job. But no one, knew my power, not even my best friends knew that I could see through walls.

I hope that you enjoyed this post! I had fun writing it. I got a little creative on some of it LOL. For the next linkup, I’ll be writing about “What would you do if you were President of the United States of America” this one was hard but fun too :-).

Hello and good morning, this post is about “What would you do if you were locked in Wal-Mart overnight”, which is our second link up. This is one I chose.  My mom showed me the whole list and this one was the most appealing to me so this is what I chose. I think it’s going to be a fun subject.

I would first find something to eat then I would round up TONS of boxes and make a castle and a throne! If I was alone I would probably wander the store looking at all the stuff.  If Gage or Chase was there, we would play around and have a Nerf war in the whole store which would take an hour or more.

When it was almost midnight I would pitch a tent and get something soft to sleep on. If I wanted to make it feel like I was outside I could move the cricket pen closer. Once I woke up, if the store wasn’t unlocked yet, I would get breakfast and go have some more fun!  Then when it would be about 8:00 I would start putting the stuff I took out up and put it in a grocery cart to buy once the store opened.  I’d leave it in the garden section for later.

I would then hide and wait for the store to open. Once the store opened, I’d follow around some customers and walk out with them. Then I would go to the nearest building and ask where the phone was so I could call Mom and ask her to come pick me up. By then it could be getting close to lunch and I might be getting hungry.  So I would find a McDonalds and go there and eat and wait for Mom to pick me up. We would then go back to Wal-mart and get the cart out of the garden section and pay for the items I used. When i got home I would tell the story to Chase, Gage and Dad.  Then it would go back to normal.

Out of all those things I might have done, my favorites in order would probably be the castle making, then the Nerf war, then the escape. Although I really doubt that would happen…but if it did, I would remember this post and do the exact same things.
