Real images of dessicated corpses show them still with bones, teeth etc present, so not exactly flapping in the wind. Very light though.
As for engorged ticks, if you really want to see that nightmare search that term, but of course disgusting as they are real ones only get to be about 10mm maximum. That's why I was imagining the "uptick", a massive monstrous version of the same.
I dont know. Last time i went anywhere near Bigfoot grease, I’d been flirting with a lumberjack at Dawsons Roadhouse. Five to fifteen beers in. And this large lady bashes in to the place sayin I’m trying to steal her man. This woman was crazy scary. So I took off and started running into the back 40 but she’s hot on my heels then all of a sudden swoop smash I’m on my ass must’ve slipped in some Sasquatch scat. Then she piles on and doesn’t let me go until I say, sistermotherauntieuncle.
Love the middle line, so fragile.
It seems very simple to avoid ticks though, I was surprised at the Lyme disease rate last year.
Lone Star tick waits on bent grass

A last swollen fate
Allergy to meat means death.
“A last swollen fate” is such a great line🖤
Started out small, ballooned with blood
to the size of a football, a beachball, then an airbed.
Host body shrunk to skin, flapping in the breeze.
Uptick.
Oh man. That is an image I will not soon forget. (But also can you imagine? Would be kind of cool to see)

Ah a most annoying insect amongst the many summer fiends. Nice prompt and Haiku Honeygloom
Thank you!!
When I said “bite me”
It wasn’t the literal.
Arachnid, you suck.
Love this!! Very funny and I love the puns🖤

Ow 🤕 Did your hair grow back?
Still waiting
It’s good to have hope. And Dr. Germlin’s Hypo Hair Tonic, the only transdermal hair tonic on the market formulated with Bigfoot grease.

Also the name of a fictional superhero who acts weirdly all of the time.
THE TICK!! And Arthur! I loved that show😊Spoooon!
Tiny hidden bite
Underneath the summer shade—
A tick’s stealthy touch.
.
Silent seconds pass
Echoes in the still night air—
Heartbeats tick away.
.
Time’s relentless march
Ticking clocks, a constant hum—
Moments slip like sand.
.
Tick of autumn leaves
Falling in the crisp, cold breeze—
Seasons change once more.
I love what you did with this!!
I'm ready for my
Closeup! Aren't I sexy as
I gorge on your blood?
(Based on this very unsettling picture)
It is very gross😬 I even got a lecture from Scoot😂
Haha! That is an amazing picture, for sure. I had no idea the sack on the back got that big... 😎
There are some people,
Who say bites are compliments,
They mean you taste good... 😎
My granny always said, “compliments should not come with Lyme disease attached.”
Haha! 😎👍
The fear of Lyme bites…
…into waiflike mottled veins
Injects fear in brains
Ticks are everywhere
From plains, forests , and sand beaches .
But in lakes and streams
Bloodsucker leeches take their place.
Ha! Little do they know, we’re destroying it😅
I love this, such a weird little tale it could be spun into🖤
