Within the shell

Same Old Life

Nothing ever changes. Everyday I'm forced to just hang around. I know most people want to "hang" and "chill" but I bet you wouldn't want to if you were hanging 100 ft from the ground!

My name is Charles. I'm a walnut. I live deep in a foresty forest. Things are going pretty well If I do say so myself.

Today a squirrel was coming for its daily feast. All of us nuts on branch 254 were on such and adrenaline rush hoping the squirrel wouldn't pick us to snack on. My bud Robert was picked. I'm gonna miss the lil guy, even if I did barely know him.

So anyway, today is gonna be just like any other day. I'll stay up here looking at people below, hoping the wind won't knock me down. It looks as if fall is starting so I should be falling any day now. I suppose it happens in every young walnuts life.

What would it be like if I did fall? Would I crack? Be eaten? It would be so cool. Maybe I should try to fall. I start I shake back and forth until I start to hear a crack. I start shaking faster and faster. Just as I thought that I was going to fall, all of brach 254 fell. We went lower and lower until everything went black. Well actually it didn't really go black since its black inside my shell, but you get the point.
