THE GUARDIAN ANGELSBuzz Buzzz........The bee entered through the small opening on the wall. Derek rolled and rolled in the squeaky bed. His tummy grumbled and complained. Buzz Buzzz.....a second bee came in. This one flew directly to his ear. Derik waved the bee away. He tried to sleep but the hunger pangs couldn't let him "Why are you bothering me you little things?"

This is the main ...

THE LAST LAUGH “ Oh My “ I exclaimed as I tried to stop my heavy anatomical figure from hitting the sandy terrain. The contents of my big beige suitcase flew as it flung open.
