Description

I was on my way to school, and was passing a huge wall like thing. I noticed some black speck-like things slowly making their way up it. When I looked closer, there was about twenty of these little Pill bugs making their way up the wall to the top. It was weird to see them all going the same way at the same time. The weather was just starting to sprinkle.
