100 Words: Plastic

Posted on June 5, 2008 by Mishelle | 13 Comments

Dear Unwanted Fly In My Abode,

I know you have your place in this world. I know that without you I cannot exist, but you need to realize that your incessant buzzing in my ear is the beginning of your demise.

I will not swat you with a plastic fly swatter. I don’t have one. I will not Mr. Miyagi you with chop sticks. I’m good, but not that good.

Over yonder you wait.  What you don’t see is this damp towel.  It’s the only weapon I need in this war. Insect, prepare thee for death!

Sincerely,
The Fly Slayer

    When you’re done with that one, stop by. There’s one in my living room that asking for a little Mishi smackdown.

    *snort* Hey, I got the Mr. Miyogi reference (best scene in the flick). Does that date me..? Still chuckling over your comment on my self-portrait the other day (cheater, cheater, sharpie-sniffer). How’d you know??? ;-)

    That was great! Do you do contract jobs… I have a couple of bugs I need zapping.

    That was fan-freaking-tastic. I totally chuckled. Loved it, and what a surprise for the prompt. It’s great how you just weave the word in instead of letting it define the whole piece.
