Ouroboros Spine BWP: TSS Chittering, chattering bugs, ugh

BWP this prompt: A swarm of cicadas crashes your character's den. set late evening

As the steepening shadows colored the day in shades of gray. Ajei was fast at work. She was working on digging out a den just for her to play in or stay on hotter days. She may share it with Chiteo, or Massaraq or Arrluk, but she wasn't sure.

For days now there had been a chittering, screeching sound as some sort of bug made itself know. She had followed the noise one day and it was big and ugly and loud. And it smelled a bit like dirt.

Tonight she sought to ignore them for she was almost done. When suddenly she broke ground and a swarm of the big nasties came at her. She squealed and tried to back pedal, but they were in her face, near her ears.

 One hit her tongue. She closed her mouth with a snap and tried to shake them off, but they clung with their little insect legs. Then she tried tbrush h them with her paws, but that just smashed them into her fur. They clung to her face, her back, her legs. She cried out again sure this was her end.
