There’s a moment in the life of each hermit crab when they outgrow their shells, all of a sudden:
one moment they fit, one moment they don’t. Shell-less. Home-less. Naked. They abandon their
former shells to look for a new shell, not because they planned to, but because they have no
choice but to. They are slightly bigger now, more them than they were before, and this requires a
bigger shell, slightly, one that will allow them room to breathe, the ability to look a little
stronger, a little less like prey. And for this to work, several hermit crabs need to abandon their
shells at the exact same time. A literal shell-game ensues, like musical chairs only without the
music and with shells instead of chairs. And just like in musical chairs, there’s always one hermit
crab who will end up shell-less. Dani? She’s between shells.
