A stunning short film.

I know Chrissy Teigen is sick of her tweets becoming articles. Understandable. But Chrissy, while I love you, I am not writing this for you. I am writing this for a gorgeous snail.

In an Instagram story that was apparently viewed by 3 million people, Teigen documented a snail's slow glide across a wooden deck. (Spoiler, in case you don't like horror films: he made it to the other side.) The snail, with its pleasant chartreuse shell, looked like a little banana pepper, and moved at a slow, fairly steady pace.

Aspirational!

Reader, I was unbelievably transfixed by the snail. When the snail reached safety, I whispered, "Great job." I briefly understood the appeal of televised sports. I wished the Homeward Bound music was playing. All surefire signs of a good film.

Anyway, I hope the snail reads this.
