To Bee from Not to Be

The haunting new, concise autobiography of a bee that returned from the dead. Paranormal plot. Parental guidance recommended.

I first had an inkling that something was afoot on new year's eve.

It began as a mild tingling in my toes. Nothing remarkable, mind you. It was odd, nevertheless, for two reasons.

One, I am a bee and don't have toes. Two, I haven't been alive ever since I was created as a graphic symbol for India's Buzziest Brands in 2006.

The strange, new feeling persisted. My legs kept twitching.

About a week later, my wings felt all aflutter.

And finally, there was this terrible itching sensation all over my head.

I clawed at my head with my legs - we bees do that sometimes, especially when we are thinking - and would you believe what I found? I was wearing this red mask, somewhat like Raphael in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

I was madly excited - but just a little bit despondent as well that someone so cool such as myself didn't have a name.

A few days later, while I was still taking test flights, I heard this low rumble in the sky that got steadily deeper.

'Buzzy....Buzzeee...Buzzbee...Bzzzbee...Zoobeee...ZooBee...ZuBee.'

OMG! My prayers had been answered!! The heavens were thinking out loud as they pronounced my new name - ZuBee! I nearly fainted.

So, here I am, ZuBee.

My sole purpose in life: to tell you about buzz among brands.

So let's get started everyone! :)
