lovebug hid in a dark, dank, cramped corner of the guru’s school, and she loved it. her favorite part was that no one could stomp her.
when no one was watching, she would scurry out and grab a small morsel of food, and then she would run back and hide.
for many moons, she lived like this, until one tuesday, she heard the guru say, “we have an infestation in this place. we have to do something about it.”
and lovebug was afraid, because she knew what was to come, because it had all happened before.
