Fly

It would much rather be outside.

At first it had hung around the back door, hoping someone would come in; creating an escape route. Then as the morning went on and the weather became hotter, the activities of the two people inside became more and more interesting. The woman ran around for a while, waving a rolled-up magazine and bringing it down hard, quite close to where it had been sitting. This went on for some time and only stopped when the man said something. That was when the shouting started! They both seemed to have issues with what was being discussed. Meanwhile, it found that this change in the environment allowed it to carry on foraging for food.

It finally found a tiny scrap of rotting orange peel, tucked in between the cupboard and the dishwasher.

After its feed, it remained observing the commotion, out of sight.

Once or twice the man stood near the backdoor looking as though he might leave the house, any minute. If he did, it would make its move.

Finally, he stormed out of the house in a great hurry… it followed.

He watched the man enter the shed and slam the door.

At last, here in the peaceful atmosphere of the garden, relaxing on the back of the garden bench, it had time to think. It couldn’t help wondering about these people who, it had been told, were living things, far more advanced than itself.

Why, it thought, did they find life so horribly difficult to cope with?
