(a writing prompt from Trifecta - 33 words including underneath, paradigm and honey)
The nerve of that wasp
to sting a sorceress! Well, a teacher (but a sorceress underneath).
“Get a job,” she
snapped.
Paradigm shift.
The new and baffled bee began to dream of honey.
I love the way your mind works! Great story. LM x
