A beetle - by Joshua Park

Sitting on a bench, a beetle thought of his lost father. The beetle’s name was Vasd. Unhappy, he opened his lunch box which was filled with fried acorn, fresh leaf, piece of meat.

Vasd’s father was one of the finest military general in the Planto Beetle clan; his name was Ash, who won all battles against other clans. When Vasd was 2 years old, Ash was fighting in a brutal war against the Garoo clan during X-mas. X-mas was considered very special for the Planto Beetle clan because it was the day when their holy God was believed to be born. Zebra. Anyways, on X-mas, Ash was captured by the Garoo clan; they used spider webs to bound Ash up, and locked him up in a jail. Being locked up in a jail, Ash couldn’t do anything but eat, sleep, excrete.

Cramming his mouth with fried acorn, Vasd took off to rescue his father. During his trip, Vasd had found an underground tunnel that lead to the jails of Garoo clan! Excited, Vasd dashed through the tunnel, ignoring all the dangers that might follow him. Frightened, Vasd heard sounds of foot-steps coming closer. Groaning, he had to hide inside the nearest hideout, trash bin. Hiding among packs of trashes, he heard a familiar sound! Hesitating whether to check out the sound, Vasd noticed that there were more enemies coming closer! Inside the trash bin trembling, Vasd thought of an insane plan. Jerking out of the trash bin, he ran as fast as he could down the tunnel; all the enemies went after him. Kicking back the stones on the way, Vasd made about 2 enemies trip over. Looking backwards, he threw a stone which killed the last enemy.

Mentally and physically tired, Vasd wanted to rest. Now, he regretted coming into this dangerous tunnel alone. Onward he walked for the whole day, when he saw a prison! ‘Prison of the Garoo clan is found; now I’ll be able to find my dad!’ Vasd thought. Quietly approaching the prison, Vasd was very nervous; his heart beat was about 200 times per minute. Relaxing his nervousness while walking, a spear suddenly went through Vasd’s chest; he was dead.
