Guy A Fly-Private Detective and owner of Fly on the Wall Detective Agency
Dan Johnson
© July, 2011


It was a dark and rainy night in Portland I was hired by Pearl Peach, a member of the Freestone clan and a dame of much distinction who convinced me to find her little cousin April Apricot by rubbing her soft smooth skin against my body (low bluesy saxophone music inserted here for dramatic affect) she’d gone missing two days earlier. Even though it was raining and the wind was picking up, I flew in the direction April has last been seen (really hot guitar licks inserted here) I soon found myself in the kitchen of the Weeping Willow Restaurant where I immediately became the fly on the wall. To my dismay I soon found what I was looking for…on the counter was a note that read “Tonight’s Salad Special” a Fun Festive Fruit Salad, including April Apricot, Babs Banana, Bob Blueberry, Sherry Cherry, Gus Guava, Lenora Lemon, Louie Lime, Marvin Mango, Nadine Nectarine and last but not least Pearl Peach and Stuart Strawberry, all had been snatched and made ready for the slaughter. I had to do something…what could I do? My wings fluttered furiously then I calmed down and remembered I have “Super-Fly” powers, I can do this, I will save the day…I drew deep within my senses and brought out my mystical, magical manly mighty voice and with all my will I shouted…Health Department! And while the chef was distracted looking for the guy from the health department, I called on my super fly powers one more time and allowed all the aforementioned fruits to wonderfully fly away, with me in the lead.
Another case solved by Guy A Fly, Private Detective.

Clever indeed. I was beginning to anticipate a fly swatter ending but super fly wins in the end! Patrick

Raymond Chandler is turning over in his grave. Not one sexy secretary with big .. . . er . . . ideas. Not a sidekick who ie always in the way and a doofus. And last, but surely not least, no captain of the police to berate the fly detective. Shameful!

Actually I love it. You did the genre. . . er . . . I liked it, I surely did. Haha! Gotta love it.
