A Passenger

Haley just walked up to me softly giggling and holding her elbow.

I didn't think that she was hurt, because she seemed so happy.

I focused on the elbow that she was presenting to me.

There was an ant crawling on her elbow and up her arm.

I laughed and grabbed it and gave it a quick squish behind my back.

"Haley, you had a passenger."

She laughed and walked away.

"Passenger...," she said.
