fiction scenario - real problem
Ready to Trade
by pome lover
There’s something about me mosquitos don’t like.
If one does bite me, it doesn’t leave a mark and it doesn’t itch.
I used to think it was because I smoked, but I quit twenty-five years ago, so that’s probably not it.
Ants, however, drive me wild. Their bites last about 2 ½ weeks and itch like crazy.
And not scratching is not an option.
So, I’m up for a trade—my ants for your mosquitos.
