The Weekend Trifecta Writing Challenge is to take a scene that involves (or affects) at least three people and write this scene from the point of view of three of the characters, using 33 words for each character.
NOTE to Trifecta Challenge: I am assuming it’s OK to use mosquitos instead of people.
The Adventures of the Three Mosquito Brothers
“If only I sucked as much as you do, Ted!” Mosquito Tod Plurp remarked to his brother Ted “the slurp” Plurp – which immediately made their other brother, Edwardio, jealous.
“But Edwardio sucks big time too, Tod.” Ted said and shot Tod a look that said you’re hurting his feelings Bro!
Edwardio, who was sulkily sucking, just sighed.
Ted and Tod were in the process of apologizing profusely to their brother Edwardio (who continued his sucking sulking) when a hand came down and flattened both Ted and Tod Plurp which made Edwardio stop sucking long enough to smile before skedaddling!
The End.
The idea for this post was suggested to me by Asifa at Crazy Life . . . Always Expect d UnEXpec TEd!!!! who wants to spread awareness through posts for Nothing But Nets a global, grassroots campaign of the united Nations Foundation to raise awareness and funding to fight malaria — the cause of large scale deaths in developing countries. So thank you Asifa for bringing this to our attention.

I love your use of alliterations in your work–it’s a skill I do not possess and I envy the hell out of someone who has it–damn you!
What a sweet compliment! Thanks you Addie!!
Hey Linda… Thank u soooo much for such a creative post!!!! I did check-out Trifecta challenge but it’s beyond me 😉 Am very grateful to you…Have a great weekend!!!
You welcome Asifa! I’m having a great weekend so far! You have a great weekend too! 🙂
Hi,
I love the idea of you using mosquitoes, it was brilliant, and a good thought after reading about malaria. Well Done. 🙂
Thank you Mags! And have a great weekend! 🙂
Snort! : )
A snort! Thank you Waterthecamels! Even better than a like! 😀
Mosquitos!! FacePalm! oh looki I just got one yay! hope it wasn’t Edwardio – oh wait he’s a mosquito … man I was worried Eeeny Meany Miney and Mo wouldn;t fly… awesome job! again, and as usual.!..so clever… Yay!
Oh thank you Lizzie! FacePalm! haha! I have to remember that one!! 🙂
I live in Louisiana where there’s forever been (insincere) talk about renaming the mosquito as our state bird. So, I HATE your characters …. but I LOVE the story. 🙂
So glad you enjoyed it OldDogNewTits! Especially since they are practically your state bird. Oh and I bet they grow pretty big down Louisiana! YIKES! 🙂
I love the opening line (always a good sign when the laughs come early.) The only thing I was bummed about was that Ed survived 😉
Sorry. That’s not nice of me, is it?
P.S. I visited LA recently and took a picture of a mosquito that was almost as big as a quarter. Ick!
As mosquito as big as a quarter? YIKES! I think their insect repellent needs to know karate! HA! Thanks for coming by Jannat!
Why am I picturing a kids book being made of this? Step aside hungry caterpillar, there’s a new bug book in town!
The alliteration alone is amusing! Add in the adroit characterizations, and it’s freaking hilarious.
Thaks Jesterqueen! So glad you like enjoyed it! Thank you so much for taking the time ot come by! 🙂
OMG … I may have been responsible for Ted and Tod’s demise 😦
Hilarious, as usual!
Thanks Jennifer! So glad you liked it and thanks for taking the time to check it out! 🙂
You know I’m never disappointed when I click on one of your links. You are the Queen of alliteration for sure. I love your humour. Thanks for linking up.
“Never disappointed” is music to this blogger’s ears! Thank you for providing these challenges — it’s got to be a lot of work and I really appreciate your efforts! You come up with the best challenges! 😀
By equating mosquitos with people, you have insulted insects everywhere!!
Sorry, gotta calm down, I’m just jealous ’cause I don’t have a cool name like Plurp. On the bright side, I do get slapped a lot… : P
