Pet Peeves

Pet Peeves

I was drifting off to sleep while listening to the summer night’s breeze, rustling the leaves on the oak, outside my window. It was peaceful, dreamy, and most of all, safe. I was almost asleep when a loud buzzing sound filled my ear. A disturbing annoyance cancelled all my thoughts of sleep, and it disturbed all the peace. Buzzzzzzzz... buzzzzzzzz... buzzzzzzz. Only a mosquito can make that sound. “How did it get in here?” I thought. Buzzzzz... buzzzzzzz.

I swatted and slapped at that annoying creature. “I’ll get it, I know I will” I thought, “I’ll knock it down in midair and put it out of its misery.” That itsy-bitsy pest couldn’t survive my powerful swipes.

“Okay this time I will get it,” I thought. I swung my feet onto the floor, and turned on the light. I picked up a T-shirt, and listened. Nothing. I peered everywhere like an eagle. Eagle Eye they should call me—I don’t miss a thing! But, I looked carefully into the light, and… nothing. “Do lights attract mosquitoes?” I thought with a devilish smile, “Haha!
