"My shell, my shell", muttered the slug, as she skidded up the slag-heap. "Where could my shell have gone?"
"You and your shells", her sister sneered. "If you think wearing that shell makes you look like a sophisticated ingénue, you are mistaken. You just look like a stupid snail."
"That's not the point. If I really want a hat, I can use a soup-bowl", said the slug. "The point is that we had a lovely sandy beach here, which everyone loved. Did those humans have to destroy it all by putting up a smelter and pouring slag into the river?"
Happy Earth Day
Cherish Mother Earth- she is the only planet we have

Oe way or another we will answer for what we've done to this planet.
Great Earth drabble.
How appropriate for Earth Day! You found the perfect angle, Natasha :)
Oh, very nice to do an earth day drabble! And I love a slug seeking a shell!
I love how you managed to turn insanity into something for a good cause. :)
You've probably already got it, but I've left you an award on my blog today...
Happy Earth Day to you too!
Wee done. And creatively bringing in Earth Day was a bonus.
Natasha - A wonderful story! I love the point of view, and the message. And I really like that graphic!
And of course your take is the most classy!
Very cute!
