Lord of the Flies

Apparently when my parents leave it means 'House Party for Flies'. Two days after they left the house has been taken over by flies. i've literally killed over 30 (yes i've counted) of them. So ridiculous. i tried not killing them at first. i would just lead them to the door and let them fly out. But that got old fast and i whipped out the fly swatter.

They gather by the kitchen sink windows of course. They also like to hang out by the front door and the door leading out onto the deck. i started making piles out of their bodies, so i could count them later. It was working until Cheri came back from her New York and Jersey visits and brought over the third uncle and aunt that had just arrived from Vietnam and someone cleaned up my amazing pile of flies on the kitchen counter. i'm sick i know.

The weird thing about the flies i kill by the front door, is that they disappear within 24 hours. Pretty weird. My guess is that they are flies infected with some crazy viral strain that turns them into zombies after they die or they taken away by ants. i'm thinking zombies is the better guess.

The pictures or horribly blurry, i know.
