If I abruptly go silent while on a conference call at work

If I abruptly go silent while on a conference call,
The most likely reason is that a bell hornet the size of a Goodyear blimp
Has flown into my office window which I keep open while I work
Due in part to the fact I enjoy the melodies of birdsongs as opposed to the humming of the recessed artificial light source mounted above me in the ceiling.

If you hear me scream, my apologies, as I clearly didn’t have enough time
To hit the mute button and/or *6 before the flying death monster from above encircled the air like a great white shark to the scent of a single drop of blood in the ocean blue.

This may also be the root cause of what appears to be a violent altercation at my residence which is little more than me fighting for my biological right to survive against the dreaded air beast.
