Last night, while I nestled cozily in my bed, a treewalker kidnapped me and took me to the highest reaches of the trees. The treewalker had on the tallest stilts imaginable. I was petrified! I kept begging him not to drop me, and he kept assuring me that he was the best treewalker in all of creation. I, on the otherhand, was not so sure of his capabilities. On our walk amongst the braches, we passed an immensely tall building. By my terrified peep down, I discerned that this was the tallest building in all of creation. The treewalker kept looking at the inner structure of the building. He seemed to receive some sort of confidence or pleasure from this building. I, on the other hand, was still frighteningly aware of my own mortality. I couldn't bring myself to find joy in any of the sights that surrounded us. Then the treewalker stopped at a tree-top convenience store. Yes, we were still way up in the highest reaches of the trees. At this store, we were suddenly joined by the treewalker's son and a bunch of treethugs. The treethugs were attacking the son when we arrived, but ultimately, they were after me. The treewalker told his son to take me back to his house. His son was driving some sort of a tree-top sports car. We were still in the highest reaches of the trees, but there was some sort of a tree-top road. I was still petrified that the son was going to swerve off the road, and I was going to plummet to a painful splat. I looked out of the topless car and saw towering mountains topped with lots of trees, deep canyons of beautiful hues, and waterfalls cascading swiftly down the precipices. I would normally have been in awe of the magnificant sights (you all know how I adore nature), but I was petrified that the treewalker's son was going to lose control and send us careening to the ground. More than a fear of death, I felt this horrible fear of the feeling of falling out of the sky. Finally, we reached the treewalker's house, and I felt a bit safer. There was something about the house that I can't quite remember, but I do remember that I was looking out the windows as I anxiously awaited the return of the treewalker. I was still somewhat scared of the elevation at which he made his abode.
