I lived in a house.
An apartment, really.
It was on the ground floor of the building, and all the windows faced to brick walls.
One evening, I returned to my apartment that all the windows faced to brick walls, to discover something that hadn't been there before.
A mass grave.
A massacre, if you will.
There were piles of dead flies on all the windowsills. Dozens of them, shiny opalescent corpses. Like little oil slicks with legs and wings poking out at awkward angles. Some were tangled in cobwebs, little loners suspended an inch or so above the rest.
In all the time I lived in that apartment, I saw only three or four lives flies buzzing about. But there were easily over a hundred dead ones, piled up on each windowsill.
Strange.

oh and in reference to your journal, that happened to me once. I was dating this guy so I was spending a lot of time at his house and I hadn't been home for a few days. My roommate calloed me and said that our house was full of flies, but it was during the summer and that happens when it's hot so i didn't think it was a big deal. Well, I came home the next day and I didn't see any flies. I proceeded to clean the living room and i found piles of dead flies on the window sills, like thousands of them. I don't know if i beleive in ghosts, but it reminded me of the Amityville Horror, among other things that happened.
