Fade In

I am traveling somewhere in the far eastern Asia, which isn’t that surprising given Top Gear did a hell of a job in one their episodes. I, however, am travelling through a local bus instead of my own transport. There are a bunch of people around, however, i have no recollection of their faces or any notable actions. Eventually, the bus stopped for refreshments etc. Some folks decided to start a BBQ while the bus was there. It was all great, the food also tasted great, as it always does so in such dreams.

Than some jack-ass decided to throw stones at the bee hives because they thought that once all the bees go away, they will be able to take the honey from the hive. That said, throwing stones at the bee hives has never really been a successful technique. The bees were off course first livid and than furious and they started attacking anyone and everyone, hundreds of thousands of them. It seemed as if there was no escape what so ever. I too started running relentlessly, however, it seems that the bees can out fly humans at a fairly quick rate.

As i glanced back, i realized that a lot of people had jumped back into the bus and the bus was now moving away,  ditching everyone who was left behind. The only cosulation lied in the fact that thousands of bees had entered the bus and people inside were trying to squat each bee individually. I was some distance away, however, still it was a rather comical scene watching 10~20 people hitting the walls and windows of the bus with their shoes repeatedly, almost as if they suffered from some mental illness and the walls were causing it.

Lets not overlook the fact that I am still running, all the while looking at the drama in the ever moving away bus. There was also a small canal beside the BBQ spot, which was now filled with a number of people that had jumped in to escape from the bees, as bees have never been known as swimmers. These people would come out briefly and get stung by tons and tons of bees. Oddly enough, I donot recall seeing any casualties, just100~200 hundred people at the mercy of bees.

As I kept running from the bees, I realized that may be the bees only wanted the BBQ and they were distracted by people that were causing the ruckus, but running around, moving around etc. If they just stop running around, the Bees will only get focused on what they want the most, i.e. sandwiches. I started yelling, let them have their sandwiches, stop moving, they will just go after the sandwiches. Soon enough the bees retracted and concentrated on eating the BBQ that was left since the start of the debacle. I guess, these were some next variation of killer bees that they could eat cooked meat instead of flower pollen.

Finally, everything subsided and i was pleased to find out that the bees had not done any damage to myself and I had come out scratch free.
