A lavish kitchen where the aroma of food can be smelled from miles away. Hundreds of servants and cooks weave and jostle about as they prepare for the next meal of the day. The meal they are cooking smells divine.

mosquito
I am a mosquito. Mostly, I buzz, and annoy mammals whilst spreading disease. As a female, my primary goal is to collect blood for my offspring.
"For real. We're just two working bugs, trying to get by!" Exactly! And so what if you like blood and I like rotten flesh! We're just doing what God created us to do! "Really, it's the human's fault they get itchy when I drink from them. Or God's fault for making them itch!" Precisely! This is just what I say, my friend! And I couldn't help nibbling on the King's wound the other day. I had no idea he had a cut on his leg! I was only trying to help! "Hey, I hear doctors are even using maggots to help patients! You were doing the King a favor!" Exactly! That's what I tried to tell them. But do they listen? No! "It's just pesticide this and flyswatter that. We're all part of God's plan, aren't we? Humans are so cruel." *munch munch* And I try to keep all this rotten flesh eaten so they don't have to deal with it! "Exactly! Humans never appreciate what we do to help them! And if we take a bit of blood or flesh now and again, that's just fair, innit?" Precisely! Ain't we God's creations, just like them? They're always praying to God, but do they pray for us? Noooo! "We should go to the church and ask to be represented! I've heard that dogs go to heaven, but what about insects?" Oh, my friend, it is so true! Why are we not considered? Where are our lands? Where are our rights?
