Hello and today's flash fiction is about pretty webs. Hope you enjoy.
Spider’s Web
Flash fiction
On a dewy morning you can
see her web sparkle in the sun’s first rays.
You have to look to see
her as she hides under a leaf as if waiting. Those flying through unbeknown are
oblivious to the danger that is in front of them.
She relishes in their
carelessness. We know why.
Dragonflies tells tales
of her flying but she does not have wings. But then we don’t know as it appears
that she can grab those out of thin air that come too near her web.
Flies pay no heed until
they are stuck in her silky web.
So in the morning the
dragonflies tell others to watch for the glistening dew drops that look like
jewels.
There is a danger in the
delicate threads that hang there between the branches and grass.
For those who listen,
they live another day and for those who are careless and throw the dragonflies
warnings into the air…
