The Stick Life #1: Twiglet Rivalry

You may not think that the life of a stick is very interesting. This is because you've never been a stick. And you've never met George.

A stick's life almost always begins as a twig, surrounded by brother and sister twigs. These siblings will fight with each other in fierce competition to develop into strapping young branches. Most don't make it that far.

At this stage in our story, George is still a twig. He cannot control his motor functions - but that's hardly relevant, seeing as how even a fully-fledged branch has no motor control either.

Instead, George can only observe his surroundings, and hope that everything works out. Which would be far less worrying if a little Robin Redbreast hadn't just landed on his older brother, and started making itself comfortable.

"What's wrong with me?" George wonders. "I might be small and insignificant to look at, but I'm supple and strong!"

The robin ignores George and hops onto another of his siblings - this time, his older sister. George's older sister has a beautiful green leaf growing out of her tip, and it fascinates the robin.

George sways in the wind and wishes he was bigger.

Very nice post! :) Upvoted, resteemed and followed!

Please follow to help other stemians promote their posts! Lots of thanks!

I don't believe you enjoyed this at all. You commented literally 15 seconds after I posted this. Be off with you.

George is quite envy with her sister. Since he thought she's got something that he doesn't have, he's just a twig. He believes so, but I think he's more than that..

If ever I have offended you for writing my previous comment in such a short amount of time, I apologize.

It's fine, I just get a lot of people copy pasting comments as soon as things get published :D

Thank you for understanding.

Anyways.. I truly think that this post is worth the visit. Have a good day. :)

Awsome story..!

Many thanks. Which part did you like the most?

What do you mean I've never been a stick? pffffft. I'll thank you not to make such assumptions in the future...

I hope I didn't offend your wooden ancestry!

Yes...and when it gets older it wishes it was green and young again. :P
