Prompts = Wrong, Slippery, Hive
Story 1 — New From Ronco
Let’s say you’re a carnivorous plant. You eat bugs. But you also need to be pollinated. What’s a plant like you to do?
You could depend on evolutionary developments to help guide most bugs slide down your slippery tube of acidic death while the pollinators live to make it back to their hive, but who wants to depend on Nature to ensure no one makes a wrong turn?
Introducing the Guaranteed Food Message Board from Ronco! Simply attach the illuminated sign to your leaf (“Pollinators this way, all others that way”) and you’ll be feasting stress-free in no time!
Story 2 — Mead Made Me Do It

Buzz woke sporting a massive hangover; the mead at his friend’s place had flowed freely. It’d been a slippery slope; the more he drank, the better it tasted. Maybe he blacked out?
As thinking fought through post-alcohol fog, he realized he didn’t recognize where he was. It was a hive, but… where?
Had he drunkenly flown into the wrong one?
Why wasn’t he dead at the mandibles of enemy hive guards?
Death would feel so much better.
‘Morning, Buzz!’
He groaned. ‘Morning, Sheriff. Where am I?’
‘Drunk tank! Get up! Queen wants to see you!’
‘How about tomorrow?’
‘Now!’
