Fly Factory
However, my guest bathroom has now become a fly factory. I know that sounds gross, but its true. For the past several weeks, just about every day, a fly magically appears in my bathroom sink. They are not the normal house flies that you usually see. These are magical flies. They are smaller than a housefly, and they are slower, which makes it easy to kill by hand. I think they may even be fairies. The thing is, I don’t know where they’re coming from. I find 1-3 of these flies—or fairies—pretty much every day, and they’re only in the bathroom sink. I have killed every one that I saw (yes, it’s true, I’m a fairy killer), but the next day, one appears again. Maybe its the same one that keeps resurrecting, like something from the movie “Pet Cemetary.”
Or, maybe the army of spiders that live around my house are producing them as food crops. Maybe the spiders have built an automatic fly factory underneath my bathroom sink. I do have hundreds of spiders around my house, including many black widows and brown widows. I have found black or brown widows in my mailbox, in my garage, on my front porch, etc. The other day, as I was bringing the garbage cans back from the street edge after the garbage men (um, I mean, sanitation engineers) emptied them, I found a brown widow underneath the handle of the garbage can. She had built a web there. In fact, I always find spider webs and/or spiders under the lid, under the handles, inside, or around the outside of the garbage cans. I think the spiders know that flies hang around the garbage cans, so they build webs there. But apparently, they’re not catching enough flies there, because now they have ingeniously constructed an elaborate fly factory, which produces one fly every day, and hidden it underneath my bathroom sink. And, apparently, they don’t want to have a difficult time in catching those flies, so they have somehow discovered a way to cross-breed the common house-fly with a slower-flying fairy, so that they will be easy to catch.
