"death awakens" he flew into the wall from nowhere and fell frozen on the bathroom floor, writhing in barely-perceptible-slow-motion, I'd never seen anything like it here before. I told myself it was a "death-watch" beetle and I wondered about the wellbeing of the neighbor below, I smelled the air. I put him on the table and put a bowl over him. I watched her slowly slowly slowly agonize in every flowing movement. Hours later, the movement was a little less slow. It was as if it had actually biologically achieved death and now some hint of life slowly crept through the body like a disease. The next day it could actually crawl in slow-mo, so I put it inside a bush out by the alley.
