Sun Mote Copse Better hit the deck like the card dealer

Niamh must've been really conked out, because she didn't so much as stir yet in response to Alyx's screeching. It was only a matter of time before she had to wake up, and in the meantime, Alyx was left without the comfort she craved. She shrieked and rolled side-to-side and kicked her tiny legs out, striking both of her siblings in equal measure. The bee, still alive for now but fading fast, detached from its own stinger, fell to the ground, and was promptly crushed beneath the flailing newborn's rocking body.

The teeny tiny black barb of the stinger, which was embedded in Alyx's skin, was gradually swallowed up by the swelling around it.

If no one else joins or if you'd prefer to remain just a cameo, I'll PP Niamh waking up and close this thread with my next post!
