picking up a shriveled "leaf" from the floor of my car, finding it a little rubbery and then flinging it away from me as fast as i could after it was properly identified as a dead slug.
i turned around to take a better look at the area where i found it, hoping for some explanation for such a vile discovery, and found a sorry looking trail of slime circling the confines of the passenger side foot well. the brittle, shiny flakes spelled out the dying efforts of this doomed mollusk while it slowly baked in the heat of my car.
i paused for a moment to worry about how annoying it would be to clean it up, then took a stray bobby-pin and poked at the slime tentatively. all traces disappeared instantly, already dried out to the point of fragility despite the illusion of dampness given from their shine.
the state of the at-one-point-this-was-slime spoke volumes for the temperature of the inside of my car.
poor little bugger.
still kind of grosses me out though.
