The Flies

The flies are becoming unbearable. This is the plague. The bodies are being stacked upon one another, and once decorum falls we will burn the corpses at the edge of town. "They smell the dead; that's why their in such a state."



When I was a kid, my grandfather paid me a penny to kill flies in houses that he was remodeling. My first perspective job was killing. I have opted to leave this off of my resume.

Chris and I have resumed this long dormant streak of fly holocaust. Annihilation to all lower life forms. This included a firefly I spied while out on the porch, who upon impact began twinkling, leaving me with a glowing flyswatter and immense guilt.

  1. Collateral damage is a necessary evil. Those flies represent the Communist threat and as a symbol cannot be tolerated.
