Quilly’s Three Word Thursday #2
Oh those cynicocratical birds of prey Devon thinks to himself as he begins to trod along his sanctuary. ’Tis a glorious day, he beams, even though with each step or jump he takes, he must be aware. He knows that he must be perspicacious to their every move for if he isn’t…well he’s not ready to meet his maker. He pauses momentarily to take in the beauty surrounding him and the scent of the new dawn.
“Glorious” he shouts. “Simply Glorious.”
Turning his head he sees movement behind the stone in front of him. With his curiosity getting the best of him he takes a huge jump into the crisp morning air and lands on the stone with perfect form. Looking around he notices the stone he landed on is so isangelous to the others, that he is amazed he saw the movement. But alas he did.
“And those beasts think I’m so volgivagant” he snorts.
“Perfect landing, Ha!”
What a fracas he spies! The hustle and bustle makes him dizzy for one short instant. Licking his lips, he continues to eye the air above while at the same time feasting on the bountiful morning breakfast he has come upon. His heart begins to race. His pulse quickens. He imagines it would be like that of man involved with numismatics and discovers, that yes, there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Oh his lucky day.
The movement. The energy. They scurry around as fast as the rays of sunlight beam down upon them all. Squatting down as low as he can, he meticulously moves forward. His stomach aches for nourishment and he must obey this calling and feed his empty gullet. Momentarily forgetting about the sky above, he knows what he must do and thinks “I am a bird of prey,” smiling evilly.
Oh the life of an ant.
Is Devon a long horned grasshopper? I am reasonably certain he isn’t stalking a cabbage plant.
Great story, Thom. You’re pretty crafty with those words!
Hard to tell this early. LOL. By crafty I do hope you mean that I’m using them right LOL

I thought I left a comment on this last week but I don’t see it. Whatever is eating the ants must have eaten it.
Great story. Good use of the words.
Thanks you Dr. John. I didn’t see a comment come in on this from you but I do appreciate it. Coining a phrase from Geraldine “The Ant’s Made Me Do It” LOL I most likely did something.
