Zippy
Zippy the fly‑hornet was thought to be a sign of coming trouble. Everyone and everything hunted him: people, flyswatters, bug spray, even frogs. That constant pursuit left him with caution and fears, but it also made him wise. Using incredible speed and cunning, he always managed to outwit his pursuers—nothing could catch him. As he patrolled the city, eating whatever he found, he grew to roughly the length of a 12‑inch ruler. He was no ordinary insect.
Zippy was born into a time of widespread oppression and growing hardship, and the world came to despise him.
