This nice property has over 150 different animals, including a Malaysian tiger. And the spiders... they always give me the creeps. I don't like the way they walk on eight legs, and their eyes... they never shut.
This place also has giraffes, hippos, a zebra, who has a brand with two swords crossing one another, hedgehogs, and other animals I would have time to get acquainted with once the butler and I bring all of my belongings up to the room.
The house was surprisingly old and looked like it never is worked on. The paint is peeling under the heat of the sun. The wood is cracked and cracking, the studs that hold up the house - but it hasn't fallen yet.
"She always thought that her kisses were the best," said the butler when he saw me staring at the beautiful girl in the picture. "She was told they were so warm and friendly by the ones she touched with her lips."
"Where is she now?" I ask.
"She couldn't take being on a farm. She agreed to have one animal and that snowballed into many animals. Being a city girl who only married the master for his money and power, she took off when the smell of the farm invaded her nose. This way."
He leads the way towards my room. Mr. Billows sat in his office. When he saw me, he called me in. I sent down my things by the door and went in.
"My boy," he says, "there are going to be some strange noises. Not to worry. You will get used to them."
The buzzing drove him crazy. He isn't listening to Mr. Billows as he searches with his eyes around the room. Then he spots where the buzzing is coming from.
In the corner, a door is open ajar, allowing little of the sun's light illuminated the ominous creature. It had big compound eyes. I could see myself in the many octangular shapes reflecting back at me my reflexion. It has thick, black hair protruding out all over the body parts I could see.
I could see the labium move up and down in anticipation of its next meal.
Mr. Bill follows my gaze. The deep scar on the side of his cheeks masks his smile. "That, my good boy, is what is causing all of the buzzing around here." He laughs at his pun.
