Story Of A Insane Man

Gary picked up the green plastic jug and a sprayer and walked to the counter

"Poisoning wasps huh?" The guy behind the counter looked at the can of wasp poison

"Yeah the news said it was cause we had such a crappy winter." He wrote a check and

grabbed the items off the counter walking to his car.

Ten minutes later he was standing in the back yard spraying a nest with the poison

he had purchased earlier. "Ow crap." He brought his hand up to the pain in the back of

his neck where he had been stung as the sprayer ran dry. The sting had already swollen,

and he walked to his shed putting the sprayer away then walking to the faucet next to the

shed. Scooping a handful of dirt out of the flowerbed he soaked it with water then

slapped it on his neck. Turning towards the house he noticed another nest being built on

the back of the shed.

A week and ten cans of poison later he was busy buying a beekeepers suit to protect

him from the wasps. He had been stung many times over the last week and there were

still more nests around his yard. He carried the suit out to his car and climbed in.

Walking to his shed he removed a can of poison throwing the box it had been in away.

He refilled the sprayer and put on the suit spraying more nests.

"There, all done." He tossed the shovel aside adjusting his beekeepers suit, he had

grown used to the suit, putting it on every day. Walking into the house he unzipped the

mosquito netting and walked through. He had built the mosquito netting halls after they

had started coming in the house for him he walked in the bathroom removing the lid off

the tank when he was done. Reaching down he grabbed his keys and unlocked the chest

next to him removing one of the large cans of insecticide and dumping it in the tank. The

wasps had been trying to get in through the plumbing so he had to fill the tank with the

poison to keep them out then, he had to lock it up because they came and bit threw the

bottles so he couldn't kill them.
When the tank was filled he walked to his room, taking off the suit and unzipping

the layer of netting around his bed crawling in and leaning over, flipping the switch. Bug

zappers lit up around his bed bathing the room in blue light, he rolled over and went to

sleep.
The next morning he hauled his new supplies in and threw them on his

workbench, among them ten cases of poison a can of buckshot a can of gunpowder and a

small bb pistol. He had found the gun when buying the powder it, was a normal bb pistol

that was powered by co2 had an eight shot cylinder and a mounted laser sight. He tucked

the pistol in his waistband and grabbed a razorblade cutting a piece of cardboard.

Walking to the yard, he tucked the small bomb into the hollow pipe. Jumping in the hole

he had dug, pulling out his lighter he lit the fuse. The blast was deafening he looked up

from his hole and saw that the buckshot charge had done it's job. What looked like a

wasp nest was scattered around the lawn along with pieces of wasp. The buckshot had

pierced the side of his shed the small black holes everywhere. "I did it!" he yelled.

Feeling a slight sense of accomplishment at the sight of the dead bugs.

Back inside his house he picked up the aerosol can and walked back to his yard

heading towards the next nest. When he reached the nest he withdrew his lighter and

pointed the can at the nest depressing the button and moving the flaming lighter in front.

Flames leapt at the edges of the nest then the nest was consumed by them. He laughed as

he watched the wasps try to escape the flames heat. The lighters flame disappeared

without Gary noticing. Free from the burning flames wasp flew from their charred home

and began swarming Gary. He ran towards the shed slapping at the wasps. When he

reached the shed he grabbed the hose and began soaking himself. The wasp disappeared

and he ran to the house for the rest of the day.

The next day he returned from the store the package tucked under his arm. Once

inside he opened the box and removed the shotgun. The shotgun could do the same

damage as the bombs only faster. He grabbed the box of shells on the table next to it and loaded the gun, heading towards the half-burned nest. He raised the shotgun and fired,

destroying the nest in one shot. "Hey what's going on?" he turned to the voice and waited

for it to come around the corner. A man ran around the corner looking around the yard.

"What are you doing?" Gary raised the shotgun as the wasps swarmed around behind the

man. They began to crawl on the man and soon he was covered. Gary fired at the wasps

but before the bb's could hit them they flew off and the man absorbed the impact of the

shot. He fired until the gun ran dry, each time the wasps dodging the shots. When he was

done the swarm flew away. Leaving only the corpse of a man whose name Gary didn't

know.

A year later Gary sat on his bed staring out the window. He had been tried for the

murder, dubbed insane, and then sent here. Now he sat in his room listening to the

buzzing and watching the wasps gather on his third story window. Soon he would break

the window and let them in. then it would all be over.
