I'm an earthworm. I try to stay on the soil and not get noticed. One night there was a terrible rainstorm. I burrowed a little deeper into the soil but the rainwater engulfed me. I was caught in the movement of the water. And it carried me helplessly out into a parking lot and deposited me into the center.
I knew I had to get off the parking lot and began wriggling towards what I hoped would be an escape. I kept going as the run rose and began drying up the asphalt. It was very abbrasive on my sensitive, soft body. I was starting to dry out but kept struggling.
Suddenly I was gently picked up by a beautiful angel. She carried me somewhere and began to rehydrate me and let me rest comfortably. The next night she reintroduced me to the soil. It felt so good to be back into the dirt. I love my angel and would do anything for her. I will remember her for as long as I can remember!
