Either kids, it's me, Mr. CribiPasta, and if you enjoy tonight's story, I strongly suggest

that you check out the new book by the same author.

It's called After Alice, and it's available now on Amazon in the description down below.

Now onto the night story.

I remember when I was a child, my dad would tell me and my brother of the urban legends

surrounding dragonflies.

With those of you unaware of the strange nature of the dragonfly, allow me to fill you

in.

See, apparently if you're a child out too late, dragonflies can sense it and will attempt

to punish you by sowing your mouth, eyes, nose, and ears shut with your tails.

So imagine that for a moment.

A bug that might fly directly into your face and quickly sow your head orifices shut

with little provocation.

Walking to the woods or some overgrown field, you might happen to disturb a dragonfly

perched a top blade of long grass and have it attack you, leaving your blind death unable

to scream, unable to breathe, horrific.

It gives me chills at just mulling the possibilities.

My big brother and I would always turn our noses up at this and frown.

I mean, sure, sure that our dad was telling us tall tales that made sure that we'd come

home with the sunwind down.

That was it.

Nothing more, nothing less.
