Group therapy


This week the prompt at Julia's place isn't so much as a prompt as a general theme. As it's been sunny for more than three hours on the trot, the prompt is YELLOW. My mind took me to a strange place writing this one, but see what you think. 

Group Therapy

She reeked of DEET when she arrived. Bloody honeymooners. All pale-skinned and in love. I like a challenge.
-         - What happened?
At dawn they rode hot-air balloons over the plains. Came back after breakfast. Laughing, kissing, sharing the photos. “You look so silly!” “Wow, you got the lion yawning.” You know.
-         - Go on.
It was chilly when they woke. She didn’t shower. She didn’t spray. I knew they laid down when it got hotter. So I waited. Was easy.
-        - OK, would you like to introduce yourself?
My name is Dina. I’m a mosquito and I have yellow fever.
