And there it was-buzzing around my head. It followed me everywhere. The constant buzz ******** buzz.
"Leave me alone," I muttered harshly.
But it didn't. I didn't leave me alone. That fly. That damn fly.
The fly with the ******** red eyes.

I don't know why but it just...appeared one day. At my mailbox. At my mailbox. I saw it hovering around the mail flag. A familiar fly. I thought it wasn't anything "special".
"Its just a fly," I breathed out. Its eyes-
-they were piercing through me.
I opened the mailbox door, hoping that the slightest creak would scare the fly away.
No.
It stood there, twitching. Twitching. Twitching and staring at me.
Its eyes.
They're red.
I shivered and pulled out the bundle of envelopes and magazines. My eyes never left "it" as I started walking towards the front door.
The front door.
Its red.
Like those eyes.

Was I going...mad?

I sat at our table that night. We were eating leftover chicken. Watermelon was freshly cut. It occured to me that we were eating old food with new. That wasn't nearly as bothersome.
I stuck my fork into a small cubed piece of the fruit and it struck me.
Red.
Red.
Red.
Like the eyes.
The buzzing.
The buzzing.
The ******** buzzing.
I dropped my food to the floor and screamed. "Get it away from me!"
My brother looked up from his plate with a curious look on his face. He said something through a mouthfull of red.
"The fly! Its back!"
My parents looked at me, and then to eachother, in worry. "Sweety, why don't you go relax?"
Yes, relax... I muttered. Relaxation should surely take my mind from this....this torment...
I layed on my bed. The clock read 7:03 PM. My mind and body were dying. Exhausted.
Yes, exhausted, thats what I was. My eyes closed and I blacked out.

Even my dreams. Even in my dreams was I plague with the image of the fly, with nightmares. Its eyes glared at me cruelly.
RED!
Red like blood.
What do you want? I yelled at it. My voice wasn't audible but I was sure It heard me.
It only replied with a buzz.
Why? Why are you doing this to me? My eyes were welling up with tears. Stop! Please leave me! You're hurting me! YOU'RE HURTING ME!
Even through my screams all it did was buzz in reply.
All it did was ******** buzz.
With its ******** red eyes.
Red like Blood.
