Description of Flies Flies is the story of an ostensibly demented resident of an insane asylum who goes by the name of Smythe. Smythe's responsiblity at the Flick Institute for the Mentally Afflicted is to simply swat enough flies so that his OSC (Occupational Service Chart) can eventually be forwarded to the OAE (Office of Admissions and Exits) for parole consideration. The Flick Institute is a cold, evil microcosm of "world" society, replete with a universe of acronyms, murderous unethical staff workers, mysterious forbidden rooms, and unbelievably psychotic nightmares. It becomes obvious that Smythe hates the situation he is in and struggles to overcome not only the impossible red tape of the Flick Institute, but also the bizarre machinations of a rival flykiller by the name of Lyle Gond.
