There was a beetle on the shower curtain this morning, so I flicked the curtain, and the beetle fell into the tub. I turned on the water and then splashed some more to lead it to the drain. I entered the tub from the end rather than the side to avoid the insect and then used my foot to push water toward it until it finally fell down the drain, finally, though it too many attempts. I kept climbing from to the metal rim, and it would fall down again. Climb, fall, climb, until, even with my near-sighted eyes, I could tell that it would not reemerge.
