Emerging
Imagine you're a creature who has spent nearly two decades underground. Then you and other creatures just like you emerge through holes in the earth.
The other creatures who came with you do likewise and leave empty husks behind.
Soon you're enjoying a new existence.
Your emergence might leave a mound of earth around your portal into your new world.
You climb out of the husk of who you used to be and emerge as a slightly different creature.
The other creatures who came with you do likewise and leave empty husks behind.
Soon you're enjoying a new existence.
Kind of like something out of science fiction, right?
Nah, it's just the cycle of the 17-year cicadas.

We had cicadas EVERYWHERE last year. Is this your year?
We don't seem to have them yet. I wonder if we will?
I love the sound they make. It reminds me of summer.
