Red Armor
I found two red bugs fastened to the same green leaf. The larger one kept eating. She carved slow moons through the edge of the leaf, never pausing, while the smaller one dragged himself over her back, all urgency, all insistence. The leaf swayed. She didn't. I've spent more of my life than I'd like to admit doing my taxes in my head while waiting for someone to finish.

Sound In Writing
Author's Note: I listened to a lecture series tape from 2024, about using sound in writing. It was from The Writers Workshop at Authors Publish. I had no idea what they were going to talk about, but I found it interesting and decided to pay attention to some of the points that were shared. I have started my beginning attempts on some of it below. It all made sense, but I think it will take a lot of practice to get any of it right, except for the rhyming. I have worked on rhyme for some time now.
