Lord of the trees

In my own special way i am an elf.

I spent a mysterious time climbing, travelling, floating through a giant hedge. They call it a hedge here, but we would probably call it a forest. We climbed giant limb to giant limb, beneath the canopy, high off the ground like some kind of naked Ewoks. Shirts ripped, skin tore, but onward we pushed. But lo there was a gap in the trees and we had to gently roll across the upper canopy. One girl, an elfin gymnast monkey barred her way across beneath. Truly a death defying feat. Until finally we had reached our quarry........it was known only as....the end. Yes and went we had reached the end, we did descend. And return to base camp, sweating, bleeding and with a degree of rash. But now we were men. Stacy was less pleased than ben and i at this.
Amen.
