I Just Saw Something Truly Remarkable

There was this bug. On the wall.
I had just finished a slice of toasted whole grain bread and peanut butter with my side glass of milk.
I took the glass and put it over the bug who in reaction flew to the bottom of the glass.
Dunk, into the puddle of milk.
Oh no! I worried.
I tried to help him, so I tried to encourage him out of the puddle.
I could see he was still alive, so he hadn't drowned, but would he be all right?
Eventually I got him out of the glass and he walked on my hand a bit.
I took him under the light and put my eyeball about an inch away from him.
He began a thorough cleaning of himself.
He looked just like a person wiping their hands.
He was getting all the milk off of himself, wiping all his legs, his body, his head, and his wings.
I watched this in amazement, as he was doing such a thorough and organized cleaning of himself.
I felt enormous remorse for accidentally dunking him in the milk puddle and asked his forgiveness.
He paused in his cleaning, looked up, nodded, then resumed his cleaning.
Then he flew - the wings still work! - and landed on the wall where I had first taken him from.
He is now my welcome house guest and I shall name him Mykluv.

This thread reminds me of that book ... what's it called ... Metamorphosis? By Coughka
I liked that book, I suppose I feel like I'm just a hideous insect sometimes. I don't read much fiction but I saw that book in the library one day and read it while I was there and then took a nap.

I was once riding a bicycle down a highway and I came upon a butterfly on the road , I got off my bicycle and picked him up
He was dying , but not yet dead
I sat back on my bicycle and began pedaling , I held the butterfly high in the air
"You shall fly for the last time, friend" I said
"Learn now that your life has come to a close , for I carry you into death"
After some minutes I found an open stretch of land off the road , and we began our final adventure together
Far from the road I chose the spot where he would lay and expire , giving up his butterfly encasing
After putting him down I gathered leaves and grass
Kneeling , I simply tried to be there for him in his final moments
Then I placed the grass and leaves over his body and made my way back with tears in my eyes

Every time you spell Smile as SMiLE, an angel's wings are forcibly torn off its body.

Great stories, nobody! The 2nd one was over-the-top, though, a little bit ("tears in my eyes" referring to the death of a mere butterfly). I like reading stories about insects. One of my favorite docs - couldn't find the link - is about roaches, despite that I'm squeamish about them. What amazes me is that the insects have the most variety of colors & shades. Some of them are breathtakingly beautiful to look at. I'll soon post my favorites.
