A conflagration Of bright green stin...

Today I went I to Family Mart convenience store to get a coffee and a hot dog with pale yellow hot mustard. The mustard is seldom hot to my standards of mustard heat.

Anyway, upon entering I was oblivious to the facade of the building and noticed a shocked and shamed expression on the face of the clerk. I selected my hot dog, waved off the extra plastic bag that they routinely try to sack my wiener with. I dispensed my coffee, added one container of milk as is my personal way. Thus situated I exited via the electronic slider doors made of heavy glass.

As I turned to face the building in order to enter my vehicle I glanced at the other clerk who was engaged in a vigorous hosing off of all surfaces vertical and horizontal that comprised the front of the edifice. The white stucco exterior was covered thickly with a bloom or hatch of one centimeter long vivid green stink bugs. My first thoughts were, My god if they had corn tortillas they could sell stink bug tacos. My second thought was - how did I not see this on the way in?

I entered my vehicle, turned over the engine, out the automatic transmission bar in to reverse and backed up. As I made my turn to get back out in the highway the first clerk ran out of the store and took hold of a cloth banner on a pole. It read Family Mart and was about a meter and half long. She ran to the side of the store and shook it with might in an effort to shake off the coating of green bugs clinging to the fabric. She coughed and dived, and lightly screamed as she was clearly disgusted by the vast colony of green insects that did not appear to care at all that they were besmirching the good name and and premises of Family Mart, I took it to mean they understood the sign literally and only wanted a family alightment site.
