Such a little thing, outside wandering alone. What are his thoughts as he travels the vastness of this terrain? Blue skies and piled high clouds above a field of waving grain stalks. Seed pods bouncing up and down as if conversing with each other, encouraged by whisps of moving air. Drops of water hang from spikey wheat grass encouraging relief from a parched throat. Suddenly a familiar acquaintance comes rushing towards him shouting Beware! Beware! They are coming. Oh No! Replies Jack the grain beetle, I think it’s time to retreat and return to the wife and kids, as he muses future adventures for another day.

Ah the grain beetle has saw teeth yet does not bite nor sting.

We can all use a little whimsy every day. Very nice.

We don't normally allow ALL CAPS in the thread title, but considering it's SUCH a cute little story, I think it's paradoxical and I'm inclined to leave it as it is.

How big the world must seem to a beetle! It reminds me of the end of one of those pixar movies about ants and it zoomed out and the whole thing took place in a tiny portion of a park in the middle of a huge city.

It is very mentally healthy to never feel so big that you can't feel small. Look at the stars!

Well, you've come to the right place for writing without grading.
