The fly never seemed to notice Angelina Jolie’s face coming. Repulsion came over her as she noticed the fly’s spindly legs and shiny coppery green helmet staring back at her, so she rolled up the magazine and gave it a swat. The fly sat still when Danielle shook her wrist. Most flies zipped off at the first movement. With the Okeepechee swamp so close, mosquitoes and flies take over Graceville in summer.
