The
invasion began this morning. I woke up this afternoon to a strange
buzzing sound. Naturally, I assumed it had been caused by
flies, because my room becomes
infested
with them every fall and winter. I ignored them.
I proceeded sleepily down the stairs and got my usual bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. To my
surprise, when I looked out the window, the air was filled with mysterious flying creatures. "Huh," I
thought. "Must be wasps. I'd better stay inside today." This, of course, would not have been a very large
change of plans.
Yet, when I wandered into the master bedroom, I saw a small crack below the screen and a steady line
of ladybug commandos entering my house. I grabbed the duct tape and sealed the window, but it was
too late. I got out the vacuum cleaner and sucked up 70 or so, but the effort was futile. They are everywhere.
I'm still not quite sure what their motives are... Judging from the vast number that are still outside, they
may need a base for their world domination scheme. If a lot of nodes about an invasion of Eastern
Europe and a mind control plan start appearing under my name, I suggest you invest in some
high-quality screens.
