Mosquito Wars



Last night while lying in bed trying to fall asleep I heard that familiar drone of a mosquito heading towards me. 'just lie here and wait' I thought to myself, employing that age old technique of waiting until the drone stops and then slapping at a random part of my body nearest to where I last heard its noise...

hhhhhmmmmmmmmm......... (silence).........SLAP!!!!

I thought it was over, I had won, little did I realise I was battling the smartest mosquito I had ever come across.

A couple of minutes later the drone started again, HA! I thought, I have a bedside light, ill turn it on and then squish him for sure. So I turn the light on, instantly the drone stops.. No mosquito.. for 20 minutes a battle of wits ensues...

Drone .... Light on ..... (silence).... light off.... [repeat process]

Finally I have had enough, I retrieve from the cupboard my weapon of mass mosquito destruction, bug spray. Spraying liberal amounts of it all over my apartment I go to bed knowing I have finally won the war.
I go to sleep hoping I havent poisoned myself in the process.

RESULT!!

I shall soon fix that...
as I feel asleep, I cried from the mosquito bites I had got in battle...
In the morning I woke up cold, because my pillow was wet, so I cried some more.....

FIXED!!!
