A Killer Bee is Who I Am

:

A Killer Bee is Who I Am
My name is Tarah, and I am a female killer bee from Africa. I am 3 years old and I travel around with my family and a bunch of friends. We migrate where we feel comfortable or where we like the excitement of interesting places. Two years ago we lived in Mexico doing our jobs.

I have a bad temper, no patience and have the urge to attack anything that gets in the way. I love big crowds. I migrated up north to America. I didn't enjoy South America, so I decided to travel with my group to San Antonio, Texas. I am aggressive towards anything that bothers me or tries to do anything mean to my group.

While I've been In San Antonio, I've seen interesting things. Like sometimes these weird hairy people came upon us and bothered us. I attacked. I heard this loud machine coming toward me. I was angry because I was busy working and it attacked me. I was very angry.

But my stinger is gone and now I'm lieing here on the grass. I'm hurting and slowly dying. Where I lost my stinger is painful, and I don't know what's going on.


The End.
