Flash Fiction Challenge: Invasive Species

This week, the paperback of Invasive landed.

Presently, I am in a shed that has once again, in a timely fashion, become a staging ground for gigantic carpenter ants. I have two above my head right now. I had three above my head five minutes ago, but one literally dropped down onto my hand as I was typing an email.

So, I figure that makes a good flash fiction challenge.

The book is called Invasive.

The idea is, in part, about invasive species.

So, write about that. In whatever capacity you so choose. Take inspiration from it. Needn’t be sci-fi. What’s an invasive species look like in fantasy or horror? How could it figure into a crime or mystery story?

Length: ~1500 words
