The day passed by way of soft breezes through the trees and the gentle movements of the sun weaving in and out from behind the clouds. Lizzy and Anya walked through the park, making their way deeper into its center, away from any distraction that city or town life could bring them. They finally stopped at a park bench. Taking out her textbooks, Lizzy begins to study. She has brought along crayons and paper for Anya to unleash her mind, but Anya’s anxiousness seems like it will not be contained through such writing materials.
Though the scene seems quiet and still to Lizzy, Anya eyes tells a much more exciting story. Tree monsters laugh amongst themselves; they shake with the life of their secret jokes. Their wooden tongues branch out to taste the world below them. One close to the bench threatens to lick them up in one swift gulp. If one was just introduce to how Anya sees the world, they would probably be frightened by the beasts. Anya, however, has learned to trust and befriend these monsters. (besides deep earth mouths, they are sneaky and make her trip when she runs and scrapes her knees. They are mean! )
The closest one to her is too enthralled in its own mind, but one a little farther away winks at her to come closer. She shuffles over to until she is standing next to its guzzling tongue. She gazes up into it and it invites her to see the world from its perspective. She climbs the tree, disappearing from the world below.
