Sorry Mr Snail

I am usually careful when waking along this particular path, especially after a bout of rain. Why? Because snails usually venture out onto this particular path. 

I was mighty tired this evening and the only thought on my mind was to get to the bus-stop so I could go home. I wasn't concentrating on the ground. 

And then I heard a sickening cracking sound from underfoot. I knew instantly I just killed a snail. 

I looked down and there it was, not entirely crushed because I held back instinctively the moment I heard the sound and felt something beneath my foot. 

But its shell was damaged enough and I don't think it would survive much longer.

Sigh. 

Sorry Mr Snail. 

我不是故意的。
