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.

- Personal Response
“Lesson for Living”
Well, although it is funny story, there are some points that I can
learn for my life. First, don’t be easily influenced with your friend.
Friend’s suggestion is not always good, sometimes it even gives worse
result, just like what happens to Alviss. Second, never drink
alcohol!! If you drink and then get drunk, anything bad will happen.
Alviss is lucky, he only gets an embarassing moment. Imagine if you do
crime, you will get worse experiences…

The Black Doctor

The Black Doctor.

Author : Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Number of Pages : 7 pages

The Fact : The story tells about a dark skinned doctor named Aloysius Lana who presumed to be dead. He leaves alone, but then he engaged to a lady named Miss Morton. She has a brother named Arthur Morton. Then, Dr. Lana leaves her lady, and sells his house and practice. People started to thinking that he is going to abandoning his success as a doctor and leave the city. But then, he found dead in his room. The police accused Arthur as the murderer because he was in Dr.Lana’s house at the night he died. But Arthur swears the he didn’t kill him. He came there only to ask him why he leaves her sister. But he didn’t meet Dr. Lana at that time. In the court, Miss Morton says that her brother didn’t guilty. When she was being asked why, she said that Dr. Lana is still alive. The next day at court, Dr.Lana who was thought to be dead came to court. Everyone grasped, but then he explained everything. He said that the one who dead and look exactly like him is his twin brother whom they never meet for years. He died because of heart attack.

Personal Impression : The story is strange, but I like the mystery scene of this short story. The strangeness is, why should Dr. Lana leave his twin’s dead body in his room and he leaves the town? He was not the murderer anyway, so he doesn’t need to run away and make his fiancée’s brother be blamed and accused as a murderer.
