Short Story- "Scream Of The Fly."

This is a short story that I wrote just for the fun of it. It is called "Scream Of The Fly."

  "Susan generally disliked spiders, but she didn't mind the big brown spider that lived in the window because it took care of the hoardes of bugs that invaded her small apartment during the long hot Missisippi summer.

 One night, when Susan couldn't sleep because of the heat, she heard a fly get caught in the brown spider's web. The fly let off a pitiful high-pitched shriek as the spider approached and then the sound abruptly ended as the spider sunk it's venomous fangs into the fly's body.

Unknown to Susan, a man in the neighborhood had been quietly watching her with hard gray eyes. The man had plans for Susan.

Susan was dozing lightly when the man with the evil gray eyes entered her bedroom. Susan woke up just in time to a huge brown shape moving toward the man. The man screamed and Susan realized that it was the same scream she heard from the doomed fly that day. After the scream ended, Susan turned on the light and found the ghost-white body of the gray-eyed man with two large puncture wounds on his neck."
