Lightning Bug

I was thinking yesterday as a few Lightning bugs hit and splattered on my windshield as I was driving to Erin's as the sun was sinking out of the horizon.... that it is kind of sad hitting lightning bugs. Other insects just annoy us as drivers, their goo sticking to the window making us spray wiper fluid to clean off their last remaining spots of existence... but lighting bugs leave you a little flicker of glowing green as their last signal before the vanish forever. In that last hint of glow they remind you of being a kid in summer, happy memories of times gone by make you pause to think just for a second as you continue hurriedly on to wherever your destination lies.
