The cover is dark green, like spruce in winter. The book, small and square, lying in the palm of my hand, holds pages and chapters that seems to be written for some magical being.

Silent words whisper at the turning. Every leaf parched like dried skin. 'Remember that you are this universe,' a line catches my attention.

And as I read, deep inside Mother Earth clever men play scientific roulette with our planet's existence.

You too? Worried about what's going on at CERN? If these particles occur in nature, why can't they dicker about with 'em there, I say!

Hi Jennifer, nice hook in that opening paragraph.
Magical and chilling at the same time.
Well done!
