Guêpe
Haha, I see you have found me.

Me, yes, me.

Where am I? I don’t know.

Who am I? I’m not a who. I’m a that.

Are you here to get me out?

No, I am not, you tricky thing.

Ah, well, what a shame. I could indeed use some help right now. But of course, the first person to talk to me in two hundred years won’t help me.

Are you trying to guilt-trip me right now?

Maybe I am. I can’t recognize my own emotions anymore.

'How is that? Or is it just an excuse?'

You know what I am, actually, now that I think of it. I am one of the pests around your house. I am one of the things that sting you. I am the aggressive version of my pathetic, harmless, herbivore cousins.

Know what I am now?

'...Yes. And my question?'

Oh, that… Well, I don’t know. It is possibly from my experience.

Your experience?

If you know what I am, you will know my experience.

'I can guess. And since I probably know it, that makes me less likely to help you.'

Do you have a name?

Only a few of the animals of each species have names. I am, unluckily, one of them. My name is Guêpe.

'Hmm. Very straightforward.'

Yes, I know. I wonder which animal invented animal names. Or animals.

They’re probably unimaginative.

Exactly. Very undeveloped. Unlike us new ones.

So why should I help you?

Many reasons. One, I’ll be able to get you some useful things. Two, I’m a valuable ally. Three, you do not want to be in the same situation as the human two hundred years ago who is in the Underworld right now when I am free.

Do you really think I’m worried about a mere bug like you?

Yes, you should be. Once I’m free, you should. If you anger me, yes. Only if you free me and don’t provoke me.

What can you do?

I can fight for you. I can give you revenge in secret. I can fetch you things, especially if you want to do something like sneak your phone in and out of your room at night.

'The last one sounds very handy. It won't be the first time I’ve tried.'

So will you free me?

Hello?

What are you doing?

What you wanted me to do.

Oh, right.

Hmm. There are some shrub cutters over there on that tree stump. See it?

'I got them. Now what?'

Cut the branches.

Done.

Now, where is your phone?

'I will show you later. You promised other things too, you know.'

Mapache
I’ve heard the voices above my head. I’ve heard the people talking. They’ve never tried to disrupt me, but still, I worry.

Is that rustling in the leaves? Probably a human. Is that a squirrel running away in terror? Probably a human. Is that a bee buzzing around? Probably a human.

Yes, I’m paranoid. So what?
