Hi my single celled friend!

I love your description in the first three sentences, I've only got one bone to pick with those ones.

a depressing contrast of beauty and drudgery.

The treehouse balcony is made of marble

fungi add a greenish tinge

You lean against the railing, feeling the cool marble beneath your hands. Stretched out before you is the limitless horizon, the tops of trees waving gently in the wind, the noon sun softening the pale blue sky. Wisps of clouds drift carelessly, effortless, and you swear you can almost smell their clean-scrubbed cotton amidst the cocktail of aromas pervading the air. Songbirds chirp their lullabies. You could almost fall asleep here, leaning on the rail.[/qupte]

Can I go here?


[qupte]"Don't be rude. If you'd like to speak with me, come down eye-level and we'll have a conversation. I refuse to scream; I'm not an ape."

"I really shouldn't. My boss is in the house next door, and if he catches me slacking off, I'll be severely punished -- maybe even fired."

"I says, I've eaten your boss."

"Then let me explain. I may note that I will attempt to be as condescending as possible, a reward for your stupidity.

"See this?" the creature says, and he sticks out his tongue; "This is called a tongue. It tastes things. Some things taste good. Others taste bad. I like tasting good-tasting things."

Quite humorous:) I love the little critter's total disdain and condescension for the person. It's interesting having it from 2'nd person POV. Definitely unique. Can't wait to see more:) Sorry I don't have anything more helpful than that to say, but I really don't have any suggestions to make;)
So good job, and post the rest soon!!!! (I'll have to pester you until you do;)
