You look in awe as you stumble across a hobbit hole in the middle of the forest. It looks carved out of alive wood - the outside is overgrown with calming vines and you quickly reach to twist the knob. When you do, a girl wearing soft green overalls stands in the doorway.
“Sorry,” you mumble. “I didn't know anyone lived here.”
The girl seems to look blankly away, thinking.
She breathed out a sigh. “I can take you for a look around. As long as you don't touch anything.” She looks skeptical.
You give her a pleading stare, and she ushers you to step in. Immediately you're flooded with a scent of warm caramel cookies. A small wooden table is the first sight, with a potted cactus in the middle and delicious sweets set on top of it. Beside the table there are three bookshelves, all brightly colored with different stories.
The window behind everything is covered with a floppy leaf. It doesn’t do a very good job with blocking the wind, but the cooling air is refreshing when you breathe it in, a drastic comparison between the humid heat outside.
A chair is set near the window, with a book on it. You look at the girl, who’s standing around awkwardly and gestures for her to tell you more.
“Well,” she began. “This is my library, sort of. I have tea here while reading books. Sometimes I write as well - it just depends on what sort of mood I’m in…”
You nod, and she leads you to the next area. An earthy smell awaits.
There is a huge bed with a plaid, light brown blanket. At least ten soft pillows lay on top of it. You immediately get ready to launch on top with it, but the girl snaps and gives you a stare. Walking around, you find long brown curtains, matching the blanket, which seems to compliment the green shades of the walls.
The room connected to the bedroom has a huge pond that has ducks swimming about. It looks sort of like an animal conservatory - squirrels dash through one tree to another, and small creatures run about. As you tilt your head to look at the ceiling, you find that there’s a gap - where bluejays take flight in and out.
You realize that you’ve been staring at the wildlife for too long and you quickly adjust your bag strap embarrassingly. The girl shrugs.
“That’s kind of all there is to it. For now, I guess.”
“That’s amazing.”
She holds out a hand, and you shake it gently.
You walk out of the circular front door, amazed at what you’ve witnessed.
