Elephants and Flying Scorpions

I was at a large outdoor park with moving stages, raising up 30-40 feet in the air. There were two elephants. A large one and a medium sized one. They didn’t so much move on their own, but were sitting on platforms that moved about. They were designed to look like large stones.

scorpionWhen the show was over people started walking about to other attractions. About that time I noticed a scorpion on a landscaping timber. It was walking about slowly. I stopped to check it out, see what it might do, and block others from walking too close to it.

After a few seconds of meandering about, it jumped off the log and started flying. Soon, it was buzzing about my head. I swatted at it, hit it a few times, it kept coming.

About then I awoke and there was the loudest mosquito I’ve ever heard buzzing about my room. It was four something in the morning. I couldn’t escape the loudness. I turned on the light. It took me a while, because it was also one of the smallest mosquitoes I’ve ever seen.
