Should I name it?
There's a firefly living in my room. That makes me happy.
The first time I noticed it, waking up disoriented in the middle of the night, it scared me. The room was completely dark and there was this glowing sphere moving in the room. I layed there petrified, trying to figure out what it was, for about 30 seconds. But then I figured that if it were to turn into a demon and attack me I could definitely crush it if I acted fast enough. I turned the light on and had to get really close to see that it was the tiniest bug on my wall. I felt stupid.
I noticed it again last night, and this time I just smiled and went back to sleep.
Dr. Google told me that this specific kind firefly is called a nimita around here. Nimita from a word for soul in Spanish (ánima) because some think them to be spirits. Cute.
I hope it doesn't die or go away soon. I like having it there.
