After a long day of travel, I had grown tired and decided to set up camp for the night. But just as I began to get some rest, I heard the chirping of crickets outside. Did that mean... a new friend was here?
There it was, as expected, with its slender body and long antennae. We spoke briefly of our respective journeys. As much as I wished for this moment to last forever, I knew it could not. We bade each other farewell, hoping that we might stumble onto each other again.
We did not.
