The Pollinators


Six months after the bees disappeared, the homeless did too.

They planted us in the fields; Taught us to see the invisible...gather impossibilities...guarantee your survival.

We are the pollinators.

Without us, you starve.


This was written for this week's Trifecta Writing Challenge. We were to write a first person narrative in 33 words. 

I heard this story on the radio this morning.
