I'm a Murderer

It was so peaceful, my mind was abuzz with the story I was working on, making small changes. Editing is so much fun, when there was another buzz. I purposely got out of my chair and went to the closet, grabbing my weapon of choice. Then I watched and waited. He was sneaky, flitting around, but not taking any immediate action. Then he crossed my line of vision, and I followed him. He landed on the window, and quick as a flash, I struck. It was over. No more buzzing. It was my first kill of the season, but it won't be my last. Flies don't stand a chance around me.

I thought you were talking about your book. Breathlessly waiting to see who you killed, I applauded your sense of humor. I hate flies in my house, too.

Thank you. I was working on a book, so thought I would put a spin on killing a fly. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I don't suppose you get those unwanted visitors during the winter.

No, I don't. This was the first of the season, so I guess summer is officially here, even if it isn't on the calendar yet.

So far, that's the only one I've seen. So the fly population is not yet aware they lost one of their own.

Outside is where they belong. I don't bother them in their environment. I wish they wouldn't bother me, but I guess it's expected since I kill them in mine, they bite me in theirs.

@just4him It sounds very exciting figuring out how to put a book together and the characters in it. If you call yourself a murderer for that then you are not alone. Lots of people like to read those parts in a story.
