The millipede I soiled !

It was a friday(to tell the truth it was today !).I was in the department,browsing when i wanted to pee urgently. So I hurried off to hostel ,to the bathroom... I finished off the business and washed my face(for which I had to take off my spectacles).As I stepped off the bathroom, I heard a hard crust crackle under my slipper...I knew the very moment that I had crushed a millipede(for they are so common in our hostel basin,also by the sound of the crush), a long,slender creature with many legs and a long red dorsal stripe along its entire length.

The sound of the crush still echoes my ears...Like I said before ,every person or event is related to some word or sound(in my previous blog).When I soiled the millipede,William Wordsworth came to my mind(I guess it was he who wrote a poem on how he soiled a creature,which I don't remember exactly!!!).

I felt sorry for it for a fraction of second.I couln't see it for i wasn't wearing spectacle.I imagined in my mind how it might look deformed,flat with its content squeezed out...!It was nearly plain grey as I 've got pretty good(I mean bad!) eye power...After I wiped my face, I put back my spectacles and found the little creature crumbled...


I guess I soiled it !
