the flies were eating little bear alive so she couldn't even swim they were eating her head and she started sinking so i grabbed her up and we swim fast for shore and they followed us and i got a mulberry switch but bear thought it was play and bit it but eventually got that it was a swatter. when we got to the museum they were mostly left behind. i can't help but associate the flesh eating flies with the fascist police and the trump virus. it's a tall tale whatevs so grimm.
