The Butterfly

I was sitting on the edge of this 11th floor, looking out of the window, looking at groups and groups of people walking around during office lunch break.

A few cars go in and out the expensive parking lot. A bus drive into the pickup area. Blue bus, with the company logo on it. Swarms of people went into the bus, flashing their tags to the bus driver as they step in to make sure they can take the free ride. It is exclusive.

Others just walk and cross the big highways, risking their lives in order to get food. Not that there’s no food nearby this place, but perhaps years and years of having the same thing at the same area probably bore them. They needed something new, people always need that.

Obtaining something new is the simplest form of satisfaction. Getting away with the same thing for very long time, on the other hand, needs a lot of courage, and perhaps resources. Depends on how you see it.

Normal sign everyday, everywhere in this big, sophisticated and unpredictable hill. Okay, maybe you can call this cluster of buildings a small city on its own.

And then this little thing comes. Flying upwards. Well, not exactly little for its kind.

A Butterfly. Yep.

Four inches wide, black colored with bright green spots along its wings. Very pretty.

I watched this little thing flew up to the other floors upstairs without making any real effort.

I smiled, and went back to my seat to resume my daily routine at his company.

Then it struck me.

Butterflies can fly till 11th floor!?

One of your nicest writing. One can get absorped into picturing the details..

Fird: I don’t know what about the scene that makes me feel like that. Must’ve been the butterfly, really

Maybe it’s a level 90+ butterfly with +str on it’s wings so that it could fly high, and +50 armour so it can endure such pressure.. or maybe the butterfly uses some sort of 3rd party cheating device to get to such a high level..

or maybe the butterfly ain’t a freaking butterfly, maybe it’s a freaking ghost trying to scare the shit out of u because u have a butterfly-phobia thingie..

or maybe that shit is robotic? or maybe it’s a normal butterfly but with a super-insect ability to flew high, thus being the leader of some X-Insect team trying to take over the world?

Ok2.. it’s just a god damn butterfly that someone releases on the 10th or 12th floor.. @.@

Fird: Somehow I feel that you have been playing way too much games o_O


Just says:

wait2.. is the butterfly a gay butterfly or a straight butterfly? O.o

Fird: I wouldn’t know. It’s outside the window and I don’t dare to open and find out. I might end up on the ground floor instead

Millipedes have been spotted way up in the himalayas. Bugs can live pretty high, actually. Some don’t even have to fly. Some tiny spiders open up some sort of parachute webbing and paraglide themselves easily several hundred metres into the air. I used to be very geek about bugs, too :D

Fird: Whoah. Now that you mentioned that. Makes sense. My knowledge about bugs is so limited that I only know mosquitoes in Malaysia won’t fly more than four storeys high *laughs*


Just says:

I don’t even know that mosquitoes can’t fly more than 4 storey high.. T_T

Fird: You need to start living in apartments I guess :p
