Squirrels at sea!
A nutty venture
My first writing prompt for vocal social society. Hope you all enjoy it, this was inspired by the sweetest squirrel I had the pleasure of rehabilitating. She was a few week old little baby still needing special formula syringe fed. The flourished and although she lives inside with me playing all the days and bonding. She was released just outside my home and still comes to visit me and hang out. 🥰
In a distant universe lies a lovely planet similar to ours. Lush and beautiful, filled with many wonderful creatures living harmony with the land. This planet was a copy of earth down to the tiniest details, but humans did not exist here.
The birds sung and cricket chirped, until one fateful day. A vessel like they have never seen before descended terrifying all. The sound was harrowing loud, very unwelcoming. This world of magic had a respect between land and life a vital bond keeping all flourishing. This I’m afraid was not a concern of their visitor nor were they aware.
Upon landed they immediately took out a vast stretch of land in a fiery blaze. Even though many lives were lost and homes destroyed they would not loose hope. A gathering of the squirrels was called and they put all quarrels aside. They had the most important mission, get to the magic cube. Three were chosen to take the mission a grey, black and a red squirrel, best off all tribes.
Quickly they set sail to the small hidden island called nuttery. It took four days and five nights to reach, upon arriving only one with could be made. Care must be taken for it read their minds. They were to wish them away. No harm was to be done, and just like that the wish was made. Oops, said the red squirrel I thought to make them fairies! Then just like that all were turned to tiny fairies!

“Averill are you ok?” Farrah asks as she watched him pace around the room. This wasn’t the first time something like this has happened. “Time keeps on slipping or maybe I’m really losing it now”, Averill began to question aloud. His hands holding tightly upon his face while he paces to the bedroom door than back to the kitchen table. “I feel I’m suffocating, sinking deep into shark infested waters with no where else to go”. After the accident about a year ago nothing has been the same, It’s a bit of a sensitive topic so it’s been avoided. Post traumatic stress disorder is quite intense, especially with depression and anxiety worsening. “I can’t go out, I just can’t. please don’t make me go!”

Peanuts and Crackerjack
Bottom of the ninth inning. The game is tied with two outs, two strikes and a man on second. I tap the bat on home plate. The rigid vibrations it creates reminds my aching digits that this isn't over. The practice swing only adds to the heft of mental burnout... Man on second, willing to chance it. Pitcher eyes him but doesn't give in to the dangerous bluff. I kick up dust, readying the peculiar stance I've had since the days of little league. The bat lays stiff upon my cramping shoulder. Pain has no reason to be acknowledged; it's a fleeting afterthought. The sun sits passed high noon, but the stadium lights are on anyway. They trick my brain into believing they are the cause of this sweltering heat. Sporadic clouds are motionless, they too, don't want to miss this exhilarating predicament. Anticipating the next pitch, intensifying roars from the crowd rumble the stadium... Behind me, the crafty catcher adjusts his stance and spits to the dry dirt. Behind him, the staunch umpire doesn't flinch or even blink; he knows how important his call will be. The pitcher winds up, his grip tells me its gonna curve. The release is fierce! Beads of sweat from his hair and face disperse in every direction as the force of his might is unfailing. My left leg lifts—an instinctual move that will increase the power of my swing. It's all down to my two, bloodshot eyes. They lock onto the speeding, white dot as it instantly becomes the target I intend to destroy. The swing is late, but I manage a solid tip. The ball is taking a fast bounce toward the pitcher who is recovering from the almighty throw! Man on second leaves in a desperate rush! I fling the bat to the side with a sense of urgency and make a mad sprint to the only destination I have—first base. Three defenders race inward to be the first to retrieve the skidding ball. Man is almost on third! I watch the open glove of my adversary, wondering if I’ve done enough to win this race. I switch my attention to his eyes, looking for a clue, some kind of reaction that tells me the ball is in the air and heading his way. All I see is frustration. The deafening roar of the crowd spikes! Something happens that I can’t see! My opponent abandons his post right as my left stride touches the bag. I waste no time turning my head to see the pitcher laying on his stomach, pounding the mound with an open glove. He misses the opportunity to out me and the ball has quickly bounced past him. Excitement grows! This isn’t over yet... It's become an imperative fight to tag out the runner heading homeward. The catcher falls to his knees in obvious despair as he watches my teammate make the run of his life. He knows it’s going to be close when he sees the shortstop fumble the ball a second too long. I jump up and down with no plans on leaving first base. All my chips are on the speed and agility of the active runner. His cleats dig into the dirt, trailing a dust-filled cyclone from the rapid and strenuous strides. With a thrusting dive and an outstretched arm, he lands on his chest to begin the crucial slide to home plate. The shortstop fires the ball to the catcher! It immediately begins closing the gap! Nail-biting doesn't begin to describe the anxious vibe permeating the stadium. The bench begins to celebrate even before he reaches the plate. Forty thousand cheering fans reach maximum crescendo, filling the air with a glorious sound. Everyone knows how this story will end… My teammate is met by the entire bench as his fingers inch across home plate, instantly followed by the unmistakable motion of the catcher's glove attempting to tag him out—its milliseconds too late. The ump swings his arms outward, officially calling him safe.

I'm not a Vocal Newbie (not that there's anything wrong with that), and I'm technologically comfortable. But, I'm also perhaps too comfortable. I think I know, even if I know that I don't know what I don't know, I still think I know more that I do know.
