turtles are so secretive, it's like they've got veiled shells, hiding all their turtle secrets. one day, i saw a turtle and thought about all the adventures it must have had. it's like, before they poke their heads out, they have a precursory check if it's safe, following their own little turtle policies. and when they get scared, they just cut out from the world and resume from the start, all cozy in their shells.
