Flies

I have been stalked for months by a swarm of buzzing flies.

Their compound eyes stare at me, menacingly.

I know they are spies sent to watch me.

Desperation grips me, as it did when my wife complained incessantly.

I need to silence those buzzing sounds, to crush their small bodies to regain peace.

With frantic movements, I start killing them one by one.

Some manage to escape, but I pursue them relentlessly.

I will not rest until I exterminate the last of these vile creatures.

Among the pile of corpses, I glimpse a dark, deformed shadow.

A guttural laugh echoes in my ears.

The flies were only a prelude to a far more sinister threat.
