I killed a buzzing thing

[jack]

I killed a buzzing thing. It was mortally wounded and flying in little circles on the surface of the table, so I felt I had to put it out of its misery, but I don't want to kill anything. OK, buzzing things about a millimetre across feel like they don't count, but illogically being about a centimetre feels over some threshold.

Maybe my career as a vampire slayer is not ordained. Though I don't know, vampires known to be evil come in the same category as plague-carrying mosquitoes, "Sorry bub, but its you or me."

Do you kill ants?

Not by choice. If they're invading my house I guess I'd have to.

I cleaned my house and they've gone away \o/

But they are smaller than 1cm.

~ants is good.

Well, that was approximate. They're a little bigger than the floating specks I was thinking of as the 1mm buzzing things. And somehow so purposeful :)
