Crunch. The sound only increased my pace. I knew I just ended a snail’s life. I didn’t hear the disgusting squelch so I’m not 100% sure if I completed the deed. My eyes were peeled for these tiny shell-carrying creatures for the rest of the way to the practice rooms.
Anyways, this got me wondering “why do snails and earthworms come out when it rains?

Snails and slugs are often just under the surface of things like boards, rocks, etc. If their area gets too damp they will surface to keep from drownding. The snails and slugs live in the dark like worms and often do not meet too many other snails or slugs to pal around with and have the big Sex time. They surface to make friends and other snails. Also when it rains there is not much sunshine and these creatures are night time creatures.
There are a ton of snails along this one path between the practice rooms building and tutoring building. The first time I walked through it at night, I noticed the ground was littered with moving snails and broken shells. I probably wouldn’t have noticed if this student around me was talking about it on her phone. Walking through the path was like a reflex test. One snail even made me twitch and stop abruptly in my path. A huge group of students behind me wasn’t really paying attention and when I reached the end, I heard a girl in the group saying “EW I stepped on a snail!” I couldn’t help smirking.
