The Adventures of Mo Skeeter, Vegetarian Bloodsucker!! (PROLOGUE)

THE ADVENTURES OF MO SKEETER, VEGETARIAN BLOODSUCKER

To the naked eye he was just another mosquito. He floated around from place to place, usually in hot and humid weather. He was costantly being brushed away and swatted at by hands and more hands. The truth is that though he was the same on the outside, he was very different on the inside. Mo Skeeter was the rarest of mosquitos. He didn’t bite or suck on animal blood. He focused simply on feeding on fluids from plants. Mo was made fun of by all his peers, but while most of them had been swatted into the next life, his decidedly fewer encounters with humans was keping him alive longer. He also didn’t have to deal with problems like cholestorol or sickle cell anemia or AIDS or other diseases or abnormalities found in blodd, so he was healthier than the other mosquitos, though he had a hard time selling it to his peers. His mother, “Ma” Skeeter supported him in his decision, but had a tough time watching him day to day. He was always hanging out on the outside edges of the swarm because he was looked down upon. And he was having a heck of a time finding the perfect Miss Skeeter due to his alternative lifestyle. But Mo stuck to his guns, and lived on the way he felt was best for him. He ate fruit juices and sap from trees, as well as fluids from the stems of most plants. But his favorite delicacy was honey. That was his only vice in an otherwise healthy lifestyle.  And he was fine with that.  It was this vice that eventually lead him to be a hero, and also to his eventual demise…
