Spy Fly

“Where there are humans,

you'll find flies..."

― Kobayashi Issa

The president swats the desk, but the fly escapes to the wall. Satisfied at its distance, the president opens a file that reads “CONFIDENTIAL” in red. Focusing, he leans forward and the fly zooms off the wall. It hovers over his head for a moment before the president registers the buzzing and swipes, missing again. The fly flees the building, going up through the clouds, the atmosphere, then inside the moon. A hard-working alien passes by, grabs a handful of flies, and plugs them in.NO CURRENT HUMAN THREAT, the alien reports before clocking out.
