Wasp

A wasp came into my office today, and I was the only person who noticed it. I watched it for a while.

 

I slowly explore the edges of my prison patiently searching for a way out.  Occasionally bumping into the walls, changing direction, and trying a different route.  I don't know how I got in here, trapped by some invisible force, but I just can't seem to find a way out.  What seems like hours have passed, to no avail.  There is occasional movement in my cell, I can sense a presence, but I don't know what it is.  Again, I bump, again, I am trapped.  My feelings of anguish seem to be turning into frustration, and anger.  Its welling up inside me like a vicious creature about to snap.  Minutes later, the anger is building, and can sense that my movements are becoming quicker and more erratic.  Yes, I am definitely moving quicker now, angry sensations dictating my path.  I can sense movement, so I quickly move to where its coming from.  As I get closer, the presence seems to move erratically, although I still am unable to determine what it is. I resume my searching, angrily, and more quickly.  I am starting to feel tired now, so I rest, I find an area that seems comfortable and I stop.  From my position, I survey the surroundings, trying to make out where I am.  It certainly seems a million miles away from what I am used.  I sense a movement close by, and all of a sudden, a pain........

Our office has tall ceilings so we could not reach, and we were all scared of it anyway

As I read this, I wondered how the wasp managed to fly around bumping into things so long without being swatted or sprayed with something lethal. I enjoyed this, James.
