For the last couple of days, I’ve had this giant house fly zipping around my living area annoying myself and my family. I’ve tried to kill him a handful of times but he’s a feisty little dude. So today, I’m just minding my own business whilst sitting on the couch. I’m mouth breathing because I have a cold and cannot breathe out of my nose. This fly, this gigantic fly, got too close to my mouth as he flew by to annoy me and I breathed him into my throat. I began almost choking on him, more in shock and disgust than anything. So I get up from the couch really quick and I genuinely feel him freaking out in my throat, rush over to the sink and that was that. Down he went into my stomach. I feel like I ended up winning the war but it doesn’t really feel that way. Sure, he’s gone, but I’ve acquired an amount of trauma from that I don’t think I’ll be able to get over for awhile.

TLDR

Today I was on the couch and my day old arch nemesis house fly flew directly into my throat.
