LIFE’S SHORT by Len Jeffrey
It seems like only moments ago I was born into this amazing place called Earth. I’m an insect and I fly
around hills and valleys with the sun on my face. The wind carries me past grassy, flower-covered
fields and through thick forests with trees reaching towards the sky. Will the wonders I see ever cease?
Up ahead I see something. They’re large objects and they speed past me. One after the other whizzes
by. I know that I am a bug of some kind but I can’t remember what those fast moving things are
called. I’ll get a closer look at the next one that approaches. Here it comes. Now I know! They
are called cars and they are driven by humans. And I am a…a…gnat– SPLAT!!
