Another one of those competitions, only 150 words this time, so I decided that it would be interesting to write a short story about the phrase, "Oh I wish I was a fly in that room / wall!" In Yalta, Stalin's summer retreat where 'The Big Three' met to 'carve-up Europe' by the end of 1944/5, there were flies on the wall; a type of 'BUG' I grant you, but not with wings, only electronic ones, if you will. I wanted to contrast the humans carving up Europe with the flies carving up a piece of fallen cake.

𝐕𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐣𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢 𝐗 𝐉𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐯𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐧. In a world that screams, I stand in despair, My voice drowned out, lost in the air. Chains of tradition tighten each day, I long to escape, but I'm forced to stay. Each breath I take feels heavy and torn, Every mistake a scar I've worn. I crave a sky where I can be free, Away from the walls that imprison me. For now, I sit with my heart in pain, Silent, yet screaming, again and again. Though shattered, a spark in me still survives, Dreaming of freedom where my soul can rise.
