The damp spot on the table is left from a wet sponge having just wiped off the top.
The tiny orange dot is a creature.
It has vision, legs and although unknown to me,
a purpose.
It has discovered this moisture and stopped to have a drink.
If I had a good macro lens on my camera
you'd be able to see it has a face, maybe eyebrows and is currently smiling. You know,
because it was thirsty, and no longer is.
I do not know if it is from some distant planet, or
Boise.
I have no idea if it will jump from this puddle
like a Mullet, or simply swim over to the edge
and continue on its journey.
It is altogether possible that I am the first
to discover this species. Maybe I'll get my name in some
scientific journal, or on the cover of LIFE magazine.
Maybe not. I think that LIFE has become extinct.

I agree - it hasn't moved and it's little orange light is fading.
