Let me tell you about our escape.

So it turns out that there were other swarms of bumblebees. There were, in fact, swarms of swarms. There was a swarm in Polt’s industrial district, and one menacing Polt Middle School, and another at Polt University (“Where Polt Pride Patrols”) and the tech school and all the other schools, as well as at our city parks, the swimming pool (where several unfortunate swimmers had already felt the cruel sting of fate . . . in this case meaning the cruel sting of Melville), and there were other swarms at the police station, the fire station, the post office, the mall, the entire shopping district, and so on and so forth.

There was even a swarm above my house, where Mom and Dad were sitting down for a late lunch, and Mom was just in the act of texting me when the swarm began trying to get in through the windows, so that Mom sent me a text of, Delphine, it’s time for lunch. Where are . . . OH NO! BEES! SO MANY BEES!

“Why did you type out that thing about the bees?” I asked my phone, but it didn’t answer and then I dropped it anyway, because I was being violently bounced around. Nate and I had managed to make it to Betsy, our car, and she was trying to whoosh through the lobby of Polt Paramount, our city’s largest movie theater. We couldn’t be blamed for driving a car inside a movie theater, as we were trying to lose a herd of bees. Also, the sign at the front door had said, “No pets,” but hadn’t specifically said anything about cars. If they didn’t want people driving cars through the lobby, they should have posted a sign.
