"When you kill a fly." (Sarcasm)

"When you kill a fly, it will fall to the ground, maybe writhe in pain a little, and die.

A fly then flies past the dead fly, and is heartbroken to see his comrade defeated. The fly immediately decides he has to tell the fallen's family.

The fly delivers the news to the family, who are devasted. The deceased was a husband, a father, and he never did harm to anybody. Except his role in the 'Great Fly War of 2018.' But that doesn't count.

The children are scarred beyond hope, afraid to go to the scary humans' domain again. The spouse will never be the same, going into crippling depression then getting trapped in a relationship with an abusive fly.

You. You tore apart a family and you murdered a living thing — just because he annoyed you?"

The average fly lives for 28 days. How could he be in the Great Fly War of 2018? Impossible. That was many fly generations ago?

I did not know about a fly's life span. Besides, "the Great Fly War" sounded suspicious. I figured I'd post the story and see what happened. Thanks for the facts Sneederbunk. I'll never believe another fly again.

I have heard that the internet is infallible, but I have lived a long time and learned to be skeptical. Truth these days is hard to find. Illusive. By responding to my posting you have reassured me and reminded me to be leery of internet content, despite corporate claims to the contrary.

And I like your sense of humor.
