Title

Skyscraper: "Snails"

Description

This article details the tragic fate of a snail and her young. The snails had been part of a biology class. A first-year student, “[m]otivated by an uncontrollable desire to know more of the baby snails and their family life in the aquarium”, opened the drain. Before the class had ended, the snails were found “writhing and tossing on the dry floor of their home” and were ultimately “rudely snatched from this realm”, leaving students devastated and pleading for more snails.
