Female Mosquito

The females of the species are the ones that bite. There is one I have been trying to kill day and night. That elusive thing takes its shots at me. It draws some blood, and flies away freely. That mosquito reminds me of my ex-wife. She sucked my blood for a good portion of my life. She suckered me, and before she went, she took nearly everything in the divorce settlement. There is one big difference in the two you should know. I cannot go to jail for murdering a mosquito. A fictional account. I've never been married.
