"Where are they coming from?" She Screamed. The window was black, covered with buzzing flies.
..."The swamps" Carlos answered. He glanced at the window. Don't panic, he thought to himself. Aloud, he said, "ha, don't worry. The glass is double paned. Those bugs won't get in here."
Of course, they aren't bugs. They're flies. Flies are insects, but not bugs. I digress.

Carlos patted the laptop. "Sure we can. I'll just order tacos to be delivered."

She wanted to hide them behind the house, not because it was about Easter Eggs, though the prompt seems to suggest that, but rather because there were very young, easily scared roommates they had, namely their children, and she didn't want to alarm them. Indeed.
