Following the discovery of at least four tubes filled with the hollowed-out bodies of nearly a dozen victims, local authorities are on the look-out for a solitary black wasp. Said Sgt. Buswerth of the Apiary Authority of South-Eastern Codorus Park, “This fellow captures his victims, injects them with a chemical that paralyzes without killing, shoves them into tubes of clay he had previously shaped with his own mouth, then packs in one of his own babies before sealing the tubes shut.” The officer paused here to wipe sweat from his pollen-caked brow. “Over a period of many days the baby grows, feeding on the living flesh of its paralyzed victims, who must endure in utter darkness listening to the sounds of their unfortunate neighbors being eaten alive.” All wasps eat other insects, but the methods of the solitary black wasp can shock even the most steeled observer. “I enjoy eating meat just as much as the next chap,” said Cpt. Highfligh of the Greater Happy Valley municipal police authority, “but locking a kid up in a dark room and letting him feast on innocent bugs until he is strong enough to break out and start the process all over again is just plain creepy, and we want it to stop.” When last seen, the solitary black wasp was headed for a deposit of light-yellow clay down by the stream.
