And finally, I discovered what it really was.
A leech.
The discovery itself lasted only a few minutes, but the feeling stayed with me much longer.
Even now, whenever I see something unusual on a damp bathroom floor, I stop and look twice.
Because sometimes the things we dismiss at first glance aren’t what they appear to be.
And once you’ve had the experience of watching a “piece of trash” move on its own, you learn one very simple lesson:
Always take a second look.
