99% of the world is dead. In a small Minnesota town, 1 woman writes the monthly local paper but itβs actually an epic horror story mailed to your door.

My story:
a very bristly bumblebee collecting pollen in a wild chicory flower. from wikipedia: The flower heads are 3β5 cm (1+1β4β2 in) wide, and usually light blue or lavender; it has also rarely been described as white or pink.
The wild chicory blooming at first light, and dying in the highest heat of day. It may not mean much to many, but it means everything to a bumblebee and to me.
