Almost as soon as I had the thought, I felt a small pucker form under my finger. xxx A pale pink marble dropped into my palm. I got up, pulled up my pants, and went to eat. They were quickly absorbed. It’s frustrating, I work hard, try hard, play hard, and never quite come out on top. I got a wide mouth canning jar from the kitchen, gently put the petri dish inside, and loosely screwed the lid down. Saturday morning, I had over two hundred milliliters, about one cup, of pale pink transparent goo. Dad was going to be pissed, wet walls encouraged the growth of mold, and he hated spraying the chemicals used to keep it in check.
