The Bee Story

– Proceed with caution, you have been forewarned.

A man meets a woman.

“I have a car, a house and a stable job,” says the man.

“I’m ready to marry and have a kid.” says the woman.

They marry quickly and have a kid.

Then they start fighting.

They keep fighting and bickering day and night.

The kid grows up but the situation at home never improves.

The kid becomes troublesome and eventually drops out of high school. At eighteen, he joins underground fighting rings, to earn money.

He’s young and has some talent. He wins a lot of matches, earns money and gets cocky.

The ringmaster and others who lost money in those matches decide to teach him a lesson.

The kid fights against someone who is very skilled, and the opponent beats him up badly.

The kid wakes up in a hospital. A kindly nurse looks after him.

Everyday, the nurse says good morning sweetly, and he watches as she tends to his wounds carefully. He knows that she is married and much older than him, but he doesn’t care.

He finally heals, so he goes to her and says, “I love you. “

“I’m married, and cannot return your feelings.” She replies.

He continues to visit her at work.

Fed up, she says one day, “Why don’t you go get a job? And I’ll consider it.”

He goes to get a job delivering food around the neighbourhood, and saves up enough money for a large bouquet of flowers.

Flower in hand, he goes to her work place and waits outside the hospital for her shift to end.

Finally, he sees her exiting the hospital. As he starts to walk towards her, he sees a young boy running into her arms. Her husband and child has come to pick her up, and the family walk away happily.

He stands in the corner and watches them slowly walk away. His eyes are blurry. He throws the flowers away and walks back home.

Home, where there aren’t many happy memories.

He gets back and finds his parents still fighting.

Anger courses through him, and he shouts at them, “Why don’t you two stop fighting and just leave each other be?!”

Upon hearing this, the man and the woman both turn into bees and leave through the windows.
