fate of an ant

Driving to work from home this morning, I was a little bit annoyed by a presence of an ant on the windshield. I didn’t notice it at first. The ant just walked here and there right before my eyes, oblivious of my increasing annoyance.

To tell you the truth, I don’t know why it really bothered me a lot to have things (spiders, mosquito, ants, sometimes small gecko) going around here and there, up and down, INSIDE a car I am driving. I mean, it did not really “intend” to disturb me, e.g. trying to suck my blood or testing my sense of concentration. Still, their very existence makes my day.

Back to the ant, I saw it stopping just above my forehead on the windshield. It looked at me, maybe trying to say hello or even sticking its tongue out (if it has one). Before I regain my full attention to it, my right arm (which was holding a steering wheel) raise swiftly. The fingers snapped and the ant was history. Its “blood” splattered on the windshield, creating a tiny spot of whitish stain. I swear I saw shadowy figure flying off its remains, fading in the air. Goodbye ant.
