Somewhere on a sunny, hot day in May, in the middle of the sidewalk, I encountered these two. At least the snail d(r)ied happy after feasting on a minute bit of sour gummy worm.
In another potential twist on this story, it is quite possible the snail is not dried up or dead (yet). Maybe he’s just resting after gorging himself on sour gummy worm bits.
And yet another potential twist: The sour gummy worm is ALIVE…IT’S ALIVE…! The snail has asked the sour gummy worm to marry it. And they are blissfully discussing wedding details and guests to invite, while sitting very close together on a sidewalk.
And finally a rather twisted potential twist on this story: The snail mistook the sour gummy worm for a fellow (well, female) snail who somehow lost her shell and got coated in sugar. The snail is trying to get her to crawl inside his shell and share it…as well as do other things inside there together…but she is in no mood. Just no. Just get away, snail with a shell. Just no.
