A fly invited itself into my home.

I tried to hook a mask around its face.

It swerved my attempts.

I tried to explain how irresponsible it was being.

I printed out graphs and charts.

Slapped away at them with my telescopic pointer.

Explained how it wasn't just risking our lives, but thousands more.

Briefly I felt important.

The fly landed on one of my graphs.

I could feel it.

It was trying to undermine me.
