Short story i came up with in 12 minutes

in all sincerity it's actually going to be an exerpt from a longer story but it goes well on it's own

"Sir? Excuse me, sir?" she asked, nervously walking into the cave.

"No need for such formal titles, my girl." the man replied. "Now do sit down with me in my dining room".

Unless her vision was decieving her, she could see that there was clearly nothing but an empty cave here. She followed the man, and sat down where he did.

"Welcome to my palace, my young girl. Isn't it magnificent?"

"Yes, si-" she began to respond, as manners would dictate she should.

"Now what have I told you about that name?" the man replied in a voice that was sweet as honey yet bitter as the wasp that guards it.

"What can I call you?"

"I have gone by many names over the years, my dear. The first was fate, in the days of the foolish Greeks who brought about their own demise. They gave me such power with that name! The second was Destiny, from those who were smart enough to see me in eras not to far from our own. And now, they call me Coincidence, shrugging me off as if I was Nothing! I am the strings that bound all life, and I play it as a tune! Do you know how easy it would be for me to-" the wasp inside the man readied it's stinger, as if preparing to attack "-to wipe them off the face of the Earth! Now I suppose you've come to retrieve me to save this dying planet. I won't I tell you I won't. I am retiring to a much nicer place, just through that door. "

He gestured to a solid stone wall of the cave.

Have you ever tasted a wasp? I can tell you, unfortunately from experience that they are not the most pleasant animal to have slide down your throat into your digestive tract. This man's ranting tasted like this to Madelin. Bitter and disgusting, but powerful. There was nothing else like it.

what do you think
i made half of that up as I went but  yikes

in case you can't figure out what's going on here this man is quite delusional

but he is in fact telling the truth

Oh my God. Love you're writing style, never read anything quite like this. Especially liked the references to a wasp.

Brilliant.

Actually you never say it's when referring to something which belongs to something you are calling it, it's only means it is.

Re: Short story i came up with in 12 minutes

Wasps don't make honey (well most of them don't)
And also they don't taste as bad as you seem to think, some people actually do eat roasted insects

yes it does my friend
and yeah i was kind of unsure of that part as well

and to clarify i'm just assuming what a wasp would taste like ok

and yes i know som ppl eat roasted insects  yikes

also, i never said wasps make honey

i said a wasp would be guarding the honey!

say there's a copious amount of honey strewn across a tabletop
and you have a wasp (which are, in general, more vicious then bees) hovering around it

and it starts doing whatever wasps do to the honey

and you try to lick the honey off of the table and you come across the wasp
and you get relatively close to it

i don't think the wasp would bee too happy if you were to run into it's head

and yeah this was in about 12 minutes for the entire thing, even the plot :I
