Housefly, Timefly, Butterfree

Just spent a good ten, twenty minutes swatting at two of the largest houseflies I've ever seen. Am spending the night at Otel Yurdaer, an art-themed, cuisine-centred hotel located by the highway linked to Istanbul. The radiator in the room is well heaty, and when I opened the window to let some cold air in (probably a couple or so degrees, or maybe sub-zero woots), these two houseflies dove right into the room (which by the way, is far from luxurious, but passable by hotels-by-the-highway standard I guess). Broke into perspiration lumbering round the room, shoe/makeshift-flyswatter in hand. Smashed the bigger one (size of big toe nail) while it made the none-toowise move of landing motionless on the mirror for some time (perhaps not quite classifiable as a move). Housefly inerts lay smeared across ze mirror. The other housefly (size of thumbnail) now hovers about the fluorescent light overhead, and i will not sleep in peae until it is d-e-a-d.
