An atypical take on the “Near and Far” challenge: With nothing except a leaf bug on the windshield, a cell phone camera and a plethora of uber corny leaf and plant related references, here’s my encounter with…
BUGZILLA!
Upon exiting a building today, I had a growing fear that something was wrong. I looked up, and couldn’t believe my eyes. A legendary creature, feared by all had planted himself on top of the building. Could it be? Is it real? It is! Bugzilla!
Down from the trees
One story high
Spitting leaves
His head in the sky
Bugzilla!
I sprinted to my car as he leapt off the roof and uprooted a near-by SUV. It was reduced to a pile of rubble when he was finished. He made a low screeching noise that sounded like a bark.
As I put the car in drive, Bugzilla noticed me. He came creeping toward my car. My nails dug into the steering wheel as I switched to reverse and sped away.
Good grief. He sure looks like a leaf. Go, go Bugzilla.
He’s mean. And for-evergreen. Go, go Bugzilla.
Bugzilla seemed determined to stick to his vendetta against mankind. It appeared as if all would have to live in perennial fear. But suddenly, Bugzilla branched out his fury and began to turn on his own kind. He mercilessly attacked OTHER GIANT BUGS, destroying them one by one.
The poor Beetles didn’t stand a chance.
What I want to know is how you managed to take Bugzilla pics with poor Jake and his broken butt outside the urgent care? Now that’s multi tasking! Love it!
Jake actually grabbed my phone and took the pictures. He was just trying to get a good close shot of the bug and then after he took one, we realized it looked like a giant bug on the loose!
