Where flies are born

Title : Where flies are born

Author : Douglas Clegg

Number of pages : 24 pages

Ellen was on the train with his beloved Son, Joey. Ellen was escaping from Frank, her husband who loved beating people and children. They tried to find a place to stay, and finally found it. They stayed overnight in a farmer’s house. There were Papa Neeson and Mama Neeson in the house. Actually Mama Neeson said that they had three little kids, but during the whole afternoon, she saw no one except those two elderly farmers. The following night, Ellen saw a little girl with bruises all-over her face and swollen lips. Two other meager kids stood next to her. There were so many flies surrounding those kids. It made Ellen think that Papa Neeson was as unkind as Frank.

The next day, before leaving the house, Ellen told Papa Neeson about the 3 kids. Then a shocking fact was revealed. Those 3 kids actually were passed away many years ago. They seemed alive since Papa Neeson dug them out and had Mama Neeson sew flies in the bodies. The flies flying inside their body made them looked like alive. After that moment, Ellen was willing to move to another town, but Frank found them before they could go. This time, she had the courage to defense herself. She killed the man. No jury would convict her. She had been defending herself.

It’s somewhat disgusting when I know where the flies came from. Imagining Mama Neeson sew in thousands of flies in corpses make me feel like throwing up. However, I like reading this story. It is extraordinary and far from boring.

hm..surprising story...it's a horror story, ian't it?I think i will read it, though i'm not sure...so, why did mama neeson sew thousands flies in her child's body?

Rahmaty said...

It's frightening, indeed, and also disgusting.
Can you imagine guys...,
when someone dig corpses from graveyard, throw away the flesh, and sew in a thousands of flies in it.
>-(
It's like filling balloon in the water with some air. The air makes the balloon float and move about....,

Absolutely, Mama Neeson did that because she loved her children and she missed them badly. It's the only solution that popped into her head.

for me,, it's horrified story.. I like a mystery story but not for horror story ^_^

Rahmaty said...

Mystery but not horor?
so..., you like kind of detective story, don't you?

So, which of the events is the focus of the story, Ellen's escaping from her husband or Mama Neeson's sewing flies in her kids' dead bodies? The first one reminds me of an impressive movie that I watched the other day. The title is "Enough" starring J-Lo. I think the story should inspire women who suffer from domestic abuse to stand up for themselves. As for the second event, it IS disgusting, isn't it? and making you shiver as well, but I'm wondering how it connects to the first event?
