A Delayed, But Sweet Revenge


     The night before last I woke up about 3:00 AM.  When I tried to go back to sleep, I was continually hampered by a mosquito in my room.  Every time slumber was just about to come, I would start to hear the mosquito starting to buzz around my head.  Numerous times I swatted it away with my hand, which of course, woke me up more.  This irritating situation continued throughout the night for hours and hours.  

    I hated that mosquito.  I considered turning on the light, and swatting it with my mosquito zapping racket, but I knew if I got up, turned on the light, and started walking around the bedroom looking for it, I would just wake up more, and never go back to sleep, so I just continued snuggling up in my bed, and of course, the persistent mosquito continued to buzz around and land on my head.  Eventually, sometime before dawn, I did fall asleep for a short while.  I did not feel very rested when I awoke.

    The next day after lunch, I went up to the bedroom to take a nap, and when I got in bed, who should appear but that pesky mosquito, looking for another blood feast from me.  As it buzzed around, I slowly reached for my mosquito zapper, and after several attempts:  ZAP, I fried that mosquito, enjoying the crackling spark that it made.

    The revenge I took on that irritating mosquito was sweet indeed.  

    Last night there were several new mosquitos in the bedroom, but I was able to despatch them before I turned out the lights.
