Flies

Aug 02, 2005 22:05

I killed a fly today. There were a lot of dead flies in the display cases in my store, so I took it upon myself to pick them up and throw them out. A couple of the flies were still alive, and when I picked up a living one in the tissue I was using to pick up the dead ones, I crushed it. It was no accident, I realized that I was holding a living thing in my hand and I decided to crush it to death. It seemed a little sickly: it couldn't seem to fly, otherwise it probably would have gotten away from me. It had already half crushed it's back when I picked it up. I didn't really know what else to do with it.

There was another living fly in the display case. It also looked a little weak. Instead of picking it up I put the tissue down in front of it so it could climb on. Then I took it outside and shook it off. It flew away.

I feel really bad about that first fly.
