The girl-who-lived
fought valiantly against the odds, outmanoeuvring the
enemy's superior aeronautical skills and causing grave harm to its army, until
one day, the news about this brave girl reached the Queen Mosquito. She
consulted her counsel and so it was decided -- the girl-who-lived was ordained
to die.
In the dead of the night,
they came stealthily and in swarms while the poor
child slept unaware; dreaming of her bed and her food, her love
and her mosquito repellent. In a typical ugly insect fashion, without so
much as a war call, they attacked all at once hitting at the most vulnerable spots
of her body.
The girl writhed in pain
as they sank their greedy mouths into her delicate skin and drank her blood,
weakening her body, minute by minute. They laughed and laughed at the poor
girls plight; assured as they were of their imminent victory. Little did they
know that the girl-who-lived had been preparing for this her entire life. It
was for this reason that she had stored tremendous reserves of protective fat
in a number of places throughout her body that shielded her and saved her life
that day.
With the element of
surprise on her side, she rose and she killed, ruthlessly and with deadly
precision. One by one, each troop fell to the mighty hand. Too late did
the Queen gnash her antennae and made her retreat. By then, the damage was done,
the battle lost. The girl-who-lived emerged victorious once more.
However, the
girl-who-lived did not bask in the glory. Her hands were dirty. She felt like
Lady Macbeth when she wanted to be Bella Swan. In the aftermath of the war, the
colossal death and destruction she had caused seemed so futile. So she vowed
anew that she would give up the blood lust and spread the message of universal
mosquito tolerance and painless swatting techniques.
And she did too. For ten
long, peaceful, bloodless hours.
Until the new moon.
When she closed her eyes
and dreamed her dreams once more and then... felt the lusty mouths suck
at her skin once more.
As the mosquitoeth army
comes forth again, the girl-who-lived rises from her lair. The quest is
renewed. Now, the thirst will be quenched only after the mosquito army is
destroyed. Once and for all.
And, so it begins
