I killed a spider today.

It was outside, alone, defenseless.

Living.

I don’t know why.
I don’t know why.

The world is huge and open and full of creatures.

Living.

And it meant nothing to me.
Just a barely hesitant pause.
And an entire world ended.

Forget your next task.

Tomorrow.

Next year.

The world ended.

Because I killed a spider today.
