A Tale of a Fly

A fly decided it would be a good idea to visit my halogen floor lamp. Who told it that lied. I was in my room the other day, reading, when I heard 'sizzle sizzle.' Eh? 'Sizzle...sizzle...SIZZLE...crackle..SIZZLE...POP!' So I'm thinking, 'What the hell??' and then I started smelling something burning. Having a bad premonition, I turned off the lamp and checked the top with a flashlight; sure enough, there lay a fat fly all curled up and frying. Oh dear. Gross.
