A week or so ago, you might remember* I had a small problem. With a fly.
A bastard fly.
A bastard fly buzzing around and landing on my eyeball whilst I was trying to work on a rather important project.
Well, it seems that someone has taken revenge on the fly community for me. Cheers to Brian Lindenmuth for informing me of the solidarity between crime and horror writers, towit:
"There's been a fly annoying the hell out of me at the computer for the past two days. Finally, he rested right on my keyboard, so I hit him with the swatter. Somehow, this only pushed it underneath the keys! Now, it's buzzing like crazy and one push will kill it. The funny thing is, it's right under the "Delete" and "End" keys."
That'll show 'im.
My own fly problems have diminished since then. Maybe the fly community took this as a warning. I certainly hope so. Those flies don't watch it, they'll have the whole genre writing community after them. Armed not just with swatters and spray, but keyboards, too.
Au revoir
