PLEASE TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT WHAT INSPIRED THIS WORK: This short story is about life. It encapsulates evolution both physical and mental. From microorganisms mutating to survive and thrive in new environments, to immigrants making a new life in a new country, to scientific and medical advances. We all stand on the shoulders of those before us. Tenacity, adaptability, and knowledge transfer allow all things, thoughts, and ideas to take on forms that are more complex. It's nature's formula for life.
