I kill a Fly, I kill a Mosquito

I kill a fly - it sits on everything and it buzzes annoyingly.

I kill a mosquito - you know, it's a damn bloodsucker.

I kill a spider - I'm scared of them, but that's not why.

I also kill ladybirds and butterflies. I shoot birds with a slingshot.

I know what you may think of me now - that I am a monster.

And did you know that most of them are paparazzi-controlled bio-drones?

I'm not a monster - I just want privacy.

You don't know how hard it is to be a celebrity in 2050…
