A Scorpion's Story

July 11, 2007
I woke up and breathed in some fresh morning air.  I was about to go home when I got jolted to the left side of the boot.  A man’s foot was crowing closer, and closer to me.  It was about to smush me when I drew my tail close and – the foot sprang back and a cry filled the air.  Two other humans grabbed the boot and shook it side to side.  I fell out finally and immediately high-tailed out of there!
