I first found them (accidentally) when I was #reconnoitering an abandoned mall last year for my ViewToob channel - a community of living mannequins... #vss365 #writesky #flashfiction

bankrupted also.

After #reconnoitering the bar full of goons, Nick hot-wired some jackbooted jackass’ muscle car. He got it up to speed, jumped the curb, crashed through the large bay window, and made chunky crimson goon donuts on the bar floor.

When the afternoon’s connoitering turned out rather under-connoitered, we fetched our boots and connoitered it all again.

But the fresh #reconnoitering was as poorly connoitered as the old connoitering had been, and frankly, we’d have been much better off having a nice biscuit instead.

#Reconnoitering is the title of this painted scene:
High on a mountain, a king and queen.
The #lioness scans the plain for rivals or prey,
With watchful eyes that never stray.
The #lion prepared to strike, come what may.

#Painting by Newbold Hough Trotter (1886)

One, then two
Four more by the far wall. Slowly tasting earth & air. Moving this way then that

Approaching further, yet no faster than when they started, moving deeper, never doubting their purpose

#Reconnoitering into the space beyond the nest, black ants driven by instinct
