tales from an ordinary world

"I think they're bees," people said as they passed us. Hundreds(?) of tiny yellowish insects flying around and around in the street. A real swarm, seemingly out of nowhere. People walked a little faster down the street, some waved a hand in front of their face. From what I could see though, nobody was stung. I'd never seen anything like it, and then they landed. Dead bees on the ground. Puzzled pedestrians. A man in a white hazard suit. Applause.
