Old Toad

Old toad mostly likes routine. Things staying the same as last time. No surprises or big noises. Old toad's day is spent quietly, eyeballing slugs to snatch up. They're always near him and the water; you'd think they'd learn over a millennium of being lunch. Sometimes a fly would land right on old toad's bumpy snout, very dumb, some bugs, or just naive. Most unlike you or me, old toad lives out its routines unconsciously, asleep or awake, ignoring time passing with no awareness or distracted mirror ego, by evolution's scheme, old toad sees little beyond the world of pond.
