The tale I tell is the truth. My vocabulary, not developed enough to express the injustice… At first, it was just a minor annoyance. Like a fly that hovers around… like a stop light that won’t change… but this was no stop light, nor was this any ordinary fly. This was a fly with a vengeance. Where I went, there he was, the fly in all his glory. It began with a loud buzzing in the ear, and through out the next seventy two hours, I was overpowered by the fly. Oh I tried in every way to rid myself of this pernicious influence, but he would not give in, even to the most harmful of chemicals. I was at my witts end, and determined to force death upon the fly. I took a bat and swung in his direction, but he managed to escape, it was as if he found the ordeal funny. I could swear I heard him laugh. He continued in a circular motion around me, buzzing loudly as if to mock. Horrified at the intentions of this incendiary little pest, I, without hesitation swung one last swing before I was interrupted by the doorbell, which spared the fly seconds more of life. Once at the door, I was greeted by a salesman who’s eyes had protruded out of their sockets when he saw the ghastly horror that stood before him, and with a swift move of his right hand he proceeded to reach for the fly. Within seconds he had caught the fly, shook him, tossed him, and I watched with an ardent eye, the fly spin uncontrollable unto death. I cannot express the anger that came over me, for I was consumed with undescribable rage . The salesman had taken it upon himself to destroy my enemy, leaving me with an unfullfilled longing which could not be satisfied… unless of course…which I did, pick up the brick, but it was the brick that made contact with the salesman’s head. No fault of my own, was he found splattered on the pavement dead. I shall render the arresting officer ludicrous should he attempt to charge me instead of the brick with murder. Maybe… you can help me. I need a place to store the body I have money, I could pay! FRANK SINATRA , FRANK SINATRA, CAN YOU FLY ME TO THE MOON………………..
