Nap Time - Primeval Drabble
The giant bugs were back.
A whole nest of them had turned up on a farm and eaten most of the herd of cattle. The farmer hadn’t been too happy, though he would have been less happy if he’d gone into his barn.
Well-fed, the bugs were all asleep in there.
“Isn’t there a rule about getting the same creatures twice?” Becker grumbled. He’d asked for a tank again and got the same answer as before. It really wasn’t fair.
“Cheer up, Becker,” Jess told him down the intercom. “Lester says you’re authorised to use explosives.”
The day was improving.
