Insects

One of the slight inconveniences here in northen Finland, especially for a city dweller like myself, is the abundance of mosquitos. Especially when one is trying to get to sleep. Luckily, my brother and I have years of experience in nightly mosquito hunts, and it is not long after we here that aggravating and familiar whining of a mosquito that the walls are decorated with yet another mosquito corpse, a grim warning to all mosquitos who dare disturb us.

I considered impaling several mosquitos on cocktail sticks and propping them up as a warning to the foolish buggers, but I guess that might have gone a little too far...
