The story of this work-

We were installing pipes on the ceiling to hold wires for flying tiny aeroplanes. We were finished for the day and started to take them down, excited about what we were doing. First the end of the pipe is removed then two propellers extend out. I shout to the other guy that we should install magnetic panels on the ceiling that we attach the pipes to. In one of the pipes a wasp is hiding, I tell him to watch out and not get stung. Alex says he knows how to deal with them. He picks it from the middle with his long nails, carries it to the couch and pinching his nails together, slices it in half. There’s another one starting to buzz around. I quickly reach for a pillow which is so heavy it feels like it’s made from concrete, swing it above his head and hit the wasp.
