Lord of the Flies

I met a friend for coffee earlier, and we sat down on a park bench to drink them and chat. Within 30 seconds there were dozens of little black flies swarming around my head--it was freaky! Just me, too.

I showered today, I swear. I don't know whether an Amityville reference or a conch shell is better. At any rate, they're gone now.

The things I choose to reveal in this space, the fact that I attract flies. Makes you want to run right up here and shake my hand, doesn't it? ;)

The evening did get better, though, promise. We moved away from the flies, but it was almost the defining moment of the night.
