Watch what you ask for

Time to leave...    (Photo by Piterkeo)

Perhaps the terrestrial flatworm was once a being who craved immortality for all the wrong reasons.

Now it's living life as a foot-long wriggler that’s virtually indestructible.  Chop it in half, and twice as much emerges.  Ouch!  Better to call it a day at that point.

Nevertheless, life oozes on.  And on.  And painfully on.  Perhaps immortality in this world isn’t where it’s at.  Right goal, wrong realm.
