Ant Attack!
Sun is shining. The last days have been quite windy and during the night it seems as if a giant is knocking our door, clumping on our roof, battering against our windows; desperate to enter. A few days ago a war broke out in the little garden in front of the house. A million legs belonging to a leaf-cutter army invaded, attacked and brutally murdered J’s plants. And they are unstoppable. Anxiously we plotted our strategies, bought lime, salt and vinegar. But, nothing can detain these mighty little mandibles. Cutting with military precision. Mutilating with soulless eagerness, leaving nothing behind than dying roots and J’s tears drying in the soil. Just to feed their fungus in order to feed on them. Vegetarian vampire on mushrooms kind of thing. A chain of ingenious creation and destruction. Can’t believe it that there are actual places where you have to pay just to see this little devils marching.
The wind giant is knocking the door again. The Attas are sleeping in there cave below the pavement, one house above the street. I’m sure they’re planning right know which of J’s plants is next on their death list, while we are dreaming of flowery meadows. Insect free of course.
