Ready to Trade by pome lover
75 Words Flash Fiction contest entry


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.
