Mosquito City

Welcome to Mosquito City

Where the welcoming sign board was created by a million and one mosquitoes an unsuccessful attempt to scare mosquitoes from migrating to the city.

Its a city like no other where an unwritten truce had been forged between us and mosquitoes. The truce simply laid bare is that the night belongs to they that fly and suck and the day to the supposed superior beings they that get fattened and healthy for the suckers.
The night is filled with their buzzing as they call up on their partners for the feast.

The superior beings try to break out of the unwritten truce by employing mosquito nets. The mosquitoes see this strategy and acknowledge that the superior ones are at their antics again so they wait because the superior ones have failed to see that the individual battles they fight is of no use when the bushes and the still waters remain as healthy breeding grounds.

The ones who suck and fly take advantage of the breeze-less nights, the superior ones are left with two choices; hide under the covers where heat and discomfort drives you to experience nightmares and bad dreams or do away with the covers and sleep without a care in the world only get prepared for the onslaught that lays ahead.
A few superiors rely on the power of electricity to power fans and air conditioners but the costs and noise population of their generators stack up against them.

The superior ones use chemicals that leave hundreds of casualties and mourning in the suckers camps, only but a few escape, leaving their comrades lifeless and flightless. Their sadness is not that they could die of  blood thirst but that their friends whom they grew up with a couple hours ago died without achieving their life's sole purpose.
Those who are left behind reassure themselves that their breeding grounds remain intact and every biochemical attack will slowly lead them in developing greater resistance.


Welcome to Mosquito City where the superior ones think only for their individual selves, without realizing the power of the communal self.
