Well written Russell, as noted you really build the suspense. Those flies will always come to bite, sometimes the more we want to swat them, the more impossible it is made for us to do so. Darn flies :). Good stuff, have a great day.

I can just hear Andrea screaming, "Get that fly away from me!" This is witty and wonderfully written, Russell. I like the way you build the tension before both of you get bitten. Winning wishes for my friend! Love, Carolyn
