Calling It By How I Feel



Prompts = Parable, Scalpel, Invisible

There’s a parable about blind men being led to an elephant, feeling one part, then describing the whole thing. One feels the leg and says the elephant is like a tree, another feels the trunk and says the elephant is like a snake, and so on.

When it comes to biting insects called no-see-ums, I’m like a blind man able to describe them by what I feel:

They’re like snakes that can unhinge their jaws, and scalpels that can cut through huge amounts of skin, and ninjas because they’re invisible.

Scalpel-dentured ninja snakes — that’s what they are.
