Nothing much has happened recently, hence the lack of updates.

This one is about (if you can figure it out) when yesterday I left the window open and heaps of insects invaded my room. Nothing like a vacuum cleaner to finish them off.....

The Invasion

The thin ghost of a figure, seemingly held up by some invisible force floated toward the light. Myriads of these unknown entities congregated, drawn by their common desire for the light. Their six arms waving in the cool breeze of autumn as they traveled, like a manifestation of some Hindu deity, giving them the appearance of some benign extraterrestrial beings.

The sun, glowed behind the horizon, reflecting a pinkish orange on the high altitude cloud, prolonging the twilight enough to see the open window, behind which, the light in the hallway acted as the magnet that was drawing the invertebrates to their imminent doom.

A low hum, resonated through the double glazing of the window which was now closed, reverberating over the dry countryside. The smell of freshly cut grass, recently kiln dried pine (from a building site shrouded in the midst of the tall dark evergreens that often line the roads in that part of the world), or some sort of fertilizer smells that remind one of the countryside. Enough about the atmosphere (which was by the way, a slate blue colour), the hum continued.

A purple and grey apparatus, with a metallic tube emerged through the door and the tractor beam (Massey Ferguson) got to work literally sucking the invaders back to the mothership.
