going <strong>to</strong> see their Judgment Day! I don’t think it was a very difficult task <strong>to</strong> deaden the already deafened<br />
mosqui<strong>to</strong>es. They frantically flew in their swarms <strong>and</strong> appeared <strong>to</strong> be flying backwards! Their retreat<br />
appeared real then but make believe later when we heard the familiar music a couple of hours after<br />
the chemical attack. The man behind the machine justified this failure by saying that the Kamath<br />
Enclave houses had a lot of crevasses where the enemy had apparently taken shelter! The residents<br />
however, choked <strong>and</strong> coughed while the enemy squadrons watched from their hideout, the suffering<br />
of humanity with much delight. Very soon they resurfaced <strong>and</strong> attacked with a vengeance! The colony<br />
population just allowed themselves <strong>to</strong> get bitten <strong>and</strong> bitten <strong>and</strong> bitten! Their resignation <strong>to</strong> fate brought<br />
tears <strong>to</strong> my eyes.<br />
The familiar drone, now, sounds as if the mossy squadron is having the last laugh. Who says that<br />
the humans have a supreme intelligence? Hark, we have a challenger here! As for me, I have become<br />
an insomniac, a somnambulist <strong>and</strong> suffer with a deep paranoia. All this psychological jargon defeats<br />
my definition! I walk around the house with a fly swatter, (the electronic one) <strong>and</strong> keep clapping my<br />
h<strong>and</strong>s in the middle of the night killing them in close combat perhaps. My family members have<br />
obviously written me off for my “Mossy Squadrons Phobia”.<br />

People who claim that they don't let little things bother them, have<br />
obviously never ever slept in a room with a single mosqui<strong>to</strong>.<br />
Joke<br />
A drill sergeant had just chewed out one of his cadets <strong>and</strong> as he was<br />
walking away, he turned <strong>to</strong> the cadet <strong>and</strong> said "I guess when I die, you'll<br />
dance on my grave".<br />
"Oh no Sir!" said the cadet. "Not me. I promised myself that when I got<br />
out of the army, I'd never ever st<strong>and</strong> in another line".<br />
