Chapter 4
The sky was still blue and still not a cloud in the sky. Stupid duck and stupid rain coat or rain cost going by the typo in the last chapter. Okay yes I will break the 4th wall from time to time. Anyway back to our story.
As I walked down the road I came to an open field of grave stones and open plots with no grave stones. Each were sectioned off by a tiny fence where the gravestones were. Where the open plots were there was no fence just open plots that went on for a bit and stopped. I counted the fenced off areas and I thought and chuckled to myself at the oddity that the number of fenced off gravestones were the same age as I was at that moment in time. Also come to think of it today was my birthday. Too much drink and walking you begin to forget things I walked over to the gravestones and stepped over the fence and knelt down and read the name... It was the name of me from my birthday from age 8 to the last day of age 8. The gravestone next to mine was the name of a school teacher I had. Yes there are school teachers in the land of fairy Stories. It showed how long she was in my life for, meaning the dates on her tombstone. What does it all mean?
"You humans are sooooo lame in the brain sometimes."
I looked around and no one or creature was around.
"Down here numb nuts."
I looked down and there was a squirrel.
"Me being a squirrel I know a lot about nuts. You may be in your own nut size brain be thinking what is going on here? Well I will tell you. Again you're not dead. This isn't a angel coming down to tell you what your life would be like if you were never born. I am a squirrel and don't want to be a flying one so no need for wings bucko. Anyway each fenced in as I am sure you put 2 and 2 together. Each grave stone a person's life you touched and made a positive or negative ripple effects and those both had positive and negative ripple effects so there is balance in this great land of ours."
The sky began to cloud up quickly and the clouds began to get dark.
The squirrel continued.
" You humans in your limited foresight you feel you did a good thing or bad thing , but nature is neutral and doesn't look at life life that. It just looks at what Is balanced and what is good for keeping itself healthy and not toxic. These gravestones are nothing more than people you interested. Yes you could have treated healthier, but how they reacted to your toxic behavior is up to them."
I felt a rain drop.
" What about the empty graves over there?"
" Strangers you have yet to meet. I am just a spirit guide and we don't count "
The rain began to increase.
"Don't you wish you would have brought the jacket genius?"
I say with stubbornness in my voice of needing to show a spirit squirrel I am right. "A little rain won't hurt no one."
"If you say so mack.. yet I am keeping my nuts dry. See you down the road pal."
The squirrel ran off and the rain came tumbling down soaking me to the bone.
