I started playing a puzzle game on the computer, but was still pretty bored for a long while. Then something interesting caught my attention. A lone fly with red eyes and an orangey mouth was sucking away at the top of the chair next to me... Gross you say, well not really. He was actually really cool, for a fly.
He seemed very brave since I could actually take out my phone and snap a few pics of him. I literally got within inches of him, and although that is a bit careless for a fly, after all I could have hit him, he just seemed to trust that I wouldn't.
No I left that fly on the chair, keeping my eyes on him and getting memorized by his beauty... Yes I'm serious, he was a beautiful example of his species, with iridescent specks glittering about his violet-green body and those orangey-red eyes on his face. I never really looked at these creatures before, always finding them icky, but this time I looked and found that they are not ugly at all. Odd yes, but also rather pretty.
I let him fly on to my frappe, after all what was left was for the trash, and then took a few more close ups. He really didn't belong in this cafe, sure there's plenty of food, but there's no adventure for the soul...
Therefore I picked up the cup and walked to the door, as he took a ride. I wonder what he thought of me as I moved him about, watching him watching me? Did he know I was about to set him free on a partly sunny, slightly rainy day? I'm not sure, but when we got outside I gave the cup a slight shake and he leapt up into the air with a "wtf" attitude, hovering in front of me as if I broke some unspeakable bond, and so I left him there. I threw out the cup and walked around to the other door, shutting him out from the coffee house.
Then I was inspired to jot this chance encounter and understanding down on paper, so that he may spend an eternity on his favorite chair, buzzing about people and the flavors to be had.
