wrong place wrong time

i peed and flushed the toilet.  just as i started to walk away i noticed something dark whirling around in the flushing toilet.  it was a little gecko flailing around and around the white toilet bowl.  then everything slowly settled ... and i waited.  he looked finished.  i didn't want him wasting away in the toilet overnight, so i grabbed a bucket of water to follow another flush, a double dose to clean things out.  but just as i flushed he started to swim ... too late.  why he would've been hanging out in a toilet bowl when he would still be alive and happy if he had stuck to the walls and ceiling.
