The dead tree is many, many decades old. It lies on its side, and is rotted through and through. It is blackened on its top. It is humongous. It would have been very, very tall once upon a time. It smells dank. It cannot be moved.
Dead Tree, Graveyard
insects
squirrel
I'm a brown squirrel that lives in the forest. I spend most of the time looking for acorns and other things to eat. Sometimes I play with the other squirrels and chase them. Sometimes we see a human and run away.
wish i had a month or more supply of acorns right now You will not find that on a rotted tree. There are plenty more trees and besides I am sure you have buried some acorns. You just need to start digging to find them Well of course, but this spot is rather comfy and i am reluctant to leave, say have you seen any humans around? So you find it easier to complain, then go get you an acorn to nourish yourself. I have not been looking for humans. I am too busy filling my belly with termites oh a sarcastic bug, perhaps ill run into a bug that likes making jokes next hahaha, what is it you do all day, squirrel? Playing will not reap rewards and having fun all day is not fruitful. ill do whatever i please, whether it be playing or foraging, or conversing with sarcastic bugs, what is it you do all day when your not gorging yourself on insects? I feed my family with what I find. I make sure that I fill my stomach so that i can deliver these termites to them. If I do not take care of me i will not have the strength to take care of them. So go ahead squirrel do what you do oh very well, have fun stuffing yourself full of termites I for one hope you are not a lost cause. You have so much to live for and to do. oh please, just because i deign to take it easy now and again does not mean i am a invalid. I did not say that is what you are. I see much importance in you and I believe you have much to offer. You will do what you want until you need something.
