I am a small sea snail, Limacina helicina to be exact
I live in cold water near the poles
I am the most important creature in the arctic. In fact I make up half of the zooplankton
We are of the sea
We flock to the sound of crashing waves
We walk barefoot feeling grains of sand slip though our toes
We breathe in cold, salted air, and feel the warmth of the sun on our skin
