  I noticed it was beginning to get dark. And for a couple seconds, it
  was scary — like that meant the world was breaking, or expired, or
  bruised, or something worse. It was really scary for a couple seconds but
  then I calmed down. Up above, the moonlit clouds looked rippled, like
  the ribcage of some giant thing digesting me.
  And I wondered if the direction I was going went down into the
  digestive system or up out of it. Wondered what difference it made.
  There was a bug hovering over a small pool of ice cream on the
  sidewalk. Like a firefly, but it wasn’t a firefly. And I could’ve stepped on
  it and killed it. But I didn’t. Be thankful, little bug. For in my world, you
  are just a little bug.
