I wrote this for the Friday Fictioneers, though I did not use the photo prompt. Enjoy the read none the less.
Grandma tried her best to get the stinger out. I was pinned down and could only watch helplessly. The bees, twice the size of a chihuahua, attacked at dawn. The war with V.E.N.O.M., a terrorist organization bent on using venomous creatures for world domination, had raged for months, but we had not anticipated this attack. The attack stopped momentarily. I ran, heart pounding to her side and ripped it out.
"Stay with me Grandma!"
I threw her over my shoulder, and started unleashing fire on those unholy beasts. I could feel the piercing sting one by one, as I dropped.

bees the size of chihuahuas? Good grief! For a moment, with the way it was worded, I thought it was the narrator that had been stung initially. I think I just had a slow moment because when I reread it it made sense. Cool story!

This is frightening. Instead of locusts, they are attacking with bees the size of chihauhuas. Scary. A bit confused however...(read it sev. times)...Who was thrown over the shoulder? Grandma? And did the stings kill him/her at the end? No matter...Welcome to Friday Fictioneers. Here's mine:

An original idea, bees as big as chihuahuas. I too got the wrong idea at the beginning. Nice one, and welcome.

Welcome to FridayFictioneers! I was glad -- for the sake of my flowers -- to see bees in my backyard yesterday. The size of chihuahuas, though? Arrrrgh! That's a scary thought. :-)
