Fighting the Beast

Kacie and I came back to her apartment after sitting on the beach for a while and were greeted with one of my worst nightmares: the sound of a bug flying around. It makes it impossible to sleep.

We chased it with a notebook (since we don't own a fly swatter) into the bedroom. Big mistake. The last place you want a bug before bed time is in a bedroom. Think about them buzzing around your ear all night? Miserable.

It zipped around until we were able to lure it out of the bedroom by turning on the hall light and turning off the bedroom light. After that it made a critical mistake: it flew into the bathroom. We cornered it in there until it landed long enough for us to put an end to the beast.

It turned out to be a huge fly (at least, it looked huge in person. Hopefully the pictures will do it justice).



 I think it's poetical that such a fearsome beast would be killed with a pink flip-flop.
