Writing another SF short story. Notice that my productivity is going up during my allotted writing periods. Feels good at the end of a session to have 1400 to 1700 words completed.

Today i was riding my bike on the Sacramento river bike trail and i drove through a blanket of small hovering gnats or flys and one got in my eye and was drowing near my tear duct. I reached up with my left hand to wipe my eyes and spit out any bugs i may have taken in my mouth, when all of a sudden i felt a sharp numbing burn on my ring finger. I shook my hand not being able to see what hit me until i looked at the finger in question and saw a black stinger which i instinctively pulled out with my right hand.(which i later found was the wrong thing to do for it actually spreads the toxins.) My finger is still sore ,almost as if i sprained it.

This is the type of thing that happens to me. It almost seemed as if i was the hapless victim of a coordinated insect military action.

The gnats blinded and distracted me for the bee or yellowjacket to unleash his abdomen shiv.

I am still on lite duty at my job because of the accident. Im not yet able to drive for my company yet as my neck and back is still stiff and hurts on turning left and right.

Office work is tedious. I need to be on the road. Heres hoping for a recovery of a quick nature.
