I woke up tired on day 6 to a warm leaf. Without letting the my failure from the other day bog me down, I left the safety of my shell to view the world outside.
The sun was shining and there were no shameless clouds in sight.
Yes. I woke up okay. You have to fall asleep to wake up, so I fell asleep the night before. Although I wanted to stay up all night, I fell asleep in the middle of making my plans of revenge. No one can stay up all night and be good to go in the morning.
It was a.... a tactical nap! I needed sleep to function and grow big and strong for revenge.
...
Before I had fallen asleep the night before I had started to plan my revenge against the clouds. It was a simple plan with over 100 steps.
How could I have thought of all those steps in one night?
Well, I could only think of step 1 and 2 that night.
What? How would I know the plan has 100+ steps? I don't know it just does. Doesn't every cliché revenge plan take like an entire book to carry out?
...
Step 1 of my insanely long plan for revenge was to first find another leaf. Why? FOOD. SUSTENANCE. SAVE THE BIRTH LEAF. Clearly not: THEY KNOW WHERE I LIVE AND I MUST MOVE BEFORE THEY COME BEAT ME UP AGAIN OR ROB ME.
So I spent the whole night of the previous day thinking of an ingenious way to move me and my family off of the leaf.
Can you guess what my genius plan was?
Before my siblings woke up, I began to eat. Yes I ate! Eating was the answer. It solved my hunger that was really bugging me from the day before and it was also going to solve my issue with my siblings not listening to me.
I'm such a smart snail!
I traveled that day to the edge of the leaf and strategically scraped my radula along the edge of the leaf...
What's a radula you ask? GOOGLE IT! GOOGLE IT! Do it! Do it! LEARN THAT SNAIL ANATOMY!
Wait what's google? 0.0
...
My plan was to scrape all the leaf matter off so that there would only be one strip left that was still green. That way, in search of food, my siblings will only eat from one patch and eventually move themselves off of our birth leaf!
Wow! So smart am I right? Call me Mr. Snail Herder.
Well it was a great plan... until I ate away a small patch of the leaf and my stomach gave out. I had forgotten that I was a tiny snail living on a huge leaf. I also forgot that my stomach existed.
Instead of backing down, I continued to munch on the leaf below me in fervor, but quickly stopped as the pain from my stomach was killing me.
Turning to the heavens I yelled out. "CURSE MY SNAIL BODY! WHY CAN'T I EAT AS MUCH AS I WANT?"
Filled with determination from my shout, I forced myself to eat more.
And then, it was like the heavens answered back. I felt my stomach empty as I took one of the biggest poops of my 6-day life. Suddenly as if there was no blockage at all, I could eat all I wanted again.
With my empty stomach, I gorged on more of the leaf and continually decreased the amount of green on the leaf to a single patch. Although my siblings woke up in the middle of my plan, I was lucky enough that none of them cared as they slowly traveled to the areas of the leaf that were still green.
'My plan's working!' I thought as I gave myself a pat on the back. Well I patted my shell with my foot.
I spent the rest of the day eating and fulfilling my duty as a perpetual poop factory.
I slept soundly in my shell that night.
Summary of day 6: I ate and pooped like a normal snail instead of taunting clouds.
