 Not really with one blow. Three I actually killed, three I found in a sink downstairs that's rarely used, and one I fished out of a window sill. Yuck is RIGHT! Was going to title it "Swatter:7 ; Flies:0" but came across the Grimm story and that seemed a little better.

I KNOW this story. It's one of those Brothers Grimm fables. I just thought I'd say that, because I'm sure people have been missing the point all week! 8 - lisae

Yuck! I like the shadows of the flies! Just not the big shadow at the top of the picture.

It's a little difficult to see the fly swatter in detail. I almost didn't see it until I noticed the shadow from it. I think it would be better to either see all of it at an angle where it is recognizable, or to just see the shadow. These don't look like swatted flies though. lol. Black and white works here. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~

Seriously? Thats prett good. I like the lieing on the back position that they are in makes them seem more dead.

I can hardly see the shadow of the swatter and that is the best part
