Out of my rear view mirror I see a relatively small vesicle moving towards our craft. Without notice, it attacks our craft. I manage to steer clear of the attacking organelle; however our craft has sustained some damage. I send a SOS call to captain Xerox. “Captain Xerox speaking. Your craft has been attacked by a lysosome. Lysosomes are small specialised vesicles that hold a variety of enzymes. Their role is to digest particular molecules that enter the cell. That was a close one. You are currently experiencing a leak from your craft, of Botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. Clostridium Botulinum is a contaminant incorporated in the crafts shell and is one of the most poisonous poisons present. The cell is very lucky the lysosome has isolated and digested the toxin before cell function was affected. That was a close one!” Just in time the concentration gradient was ready, and it was time for us to exit the cell. As the craft passed through the semi permeable membrane, I remark “ wasn’t that a journey of a life
