Smiling slightly, the girl held the housefly’s body against the windowsill, soft and struggling beneath her left thumb. Tweezers clasped between right thumb and forefinger, she deftly plucked away both wings.
‘Now let’s see how you fly!’ she murmured, tossing the hapless creature through the open window with a flourish.

My attempt at a 50 word story, guest posted by the master of 50 word stories. 🙂
(I’m not 100% happy with it, but like everything I have to let go of I guess I never could be. Sorry if you think it sucks. Also, I’ve been really busy over the last couple of weeks, working almost every waking hour of my life. It’s doing me good in more ways than one, but I’m sorry for the silence),
~xx~
Like I’ve told you twice already, I really like it. 🙂
please send stephy a hat for her story… and angel wings for her fly
A hat yes, angel wings no.
poor fly…. to suffer the sadism of an unhatted female.
If she wore a hat, all would have been fine.
Don’t get me wrong but it sounds like he killed it.
What do you mean?
The fly, the tweezers killed it
What a sad soul to take pleasure in hurting even a fly!
I never harm minibeasts.
If this were facebook, I would like this comment.
I really like the person who would like my comment, so you don’t have to like anything. 😉
How do they pronounce your name?
Haha confusing but then in makes sense. They pronounce it something like “Awn-yeh” with the emphasis on the “Awn”. But the “in” does make a subtle appearance. Difficult to describe!
To be fair, the fly may have deserved it, It may have dome something nasty in the previous 50 words.
It’s cruel, but I like it!
Gorgeously gruesome
