Moving
I had to find a place to hide and quick. They were after me. I ran down the rows of doors, like large cabinet doors, like large containers. I wasn't too worried they would actually catch me since I could MOVE. Where was George's? Finally, I rounded a corner. That had to be it. I drummed my fingers lightly on the door, and it was opened immediately. I slipped in quickly.
George was a weird-looking little toad of a man. He was short, kind of bent over, had longish hair which also stuck straight up on top, ear lobes that hung down almost to his shoulders, and a rather long droopy nose. He was wearing a vest underneath a ratty looking jacket.
Let me descrive this "container" he lived in. Initially, it was long and narrow. There was a small set-in book shelf just inside the door, then a nice looking large plant in a pot. The walls were lined with copper-covered cubbyholes of all kinds. He had made all the copper covers himself, and they had interesting designs on them. There was a narrow cot/bed with curved metal legs along one side, then a small round table with another plant on it, and maybe a lamp. Then the room took a jog and went back into a much larger space. It was amazing what one could do with containers. He wanted me to follow him back into whatever else was back there. But then it seemed someone else came in. I really didn't want to be seen, so I crouched down behind the cot, sort of underneath the small table. I was hoping that and the plant would hide me. Someone did come in. I don't know if they saw me or not.
Then I was outside somewhere. I had a job to get down all the avocados that hadn't been shaken down from the impossibly high trees. I just flew up there and went to work, going from branch to branch and reaching for the hardest to reach avocados. I even shook sections of branches just to make sure I hadn't missed any.
When that was done, I was back in some house with 2 guys. Don't know who they were. They were angry at me for something. I was very upset and crying. I decided to get out of there. I ran out and flew up up into mist. But they followed me, also flying. !! But since I could MOVE, I suddenly changed direction and went zooming off at a right angle. They hadn't seen me and continued away in their same direction. But where was I going now?
