The Veldsprinkaan: A wandering eco-village.

These are lean times. I don’t want to dwell on the preceding horrors – I’m sure that you, of all people, will be aware of what has gone before. You lived through the hungry times, yes?

But these creatures… these proud grass-hopper beasts we’ve grown from bone and sinew, from waist high pupae to these towering monsters… these Veldsprinkaan will be our salvation.

I hope.

You don’t look convinced. There are other herds, in far off lands. One in the artic, I’ve heard. But ours; ours haunts the veldt – the Serengeti – pursuing the vast migratory populations. It’s a strange life.

I often wonder what it is like, down in your cities. Maybe one day I will visit you and see them.

If you’re still around.
