I didn't like to travel while it still was vinter outside. It wasn't so much the cold anymore since I had managed to weave a big enough sweater that goes a bit down my knees at the bottom and just slightly over my hands at the sleaves and also a hat that covered my now kinda knotted hair since that's what happens when wearing a wooly hat more then a moment at a time. And also my boots where waxed to make them somewhat waterproof. No what bother me most was that it wasn't easy for somone my size to move around in that season, having to plow trough the soft snow or just the trouble of finding food while being outside. Sure some people leave some seeds or crumbs out for the birds but most didn't for the fear of attracting rats or whatever. In fact, that was the reason I had left my recent home in the first place. It had gotten so full of rats that it just wasn't safe to stay any longer. However it wasn't to far from spring this time and the weather had already begun to get warm enough to melt most of the snow away.
Walking down a street without any specific destination in mind I came to a road crossing with a park in the middle. Well maybe not a park per sé, but it had at least a tree in the center and probably a bench underneith wich was hard to see from were I was standing across the road and also with a row of bushes going around. 'Ok, at least a change of scenery' I thought to myself while crossing 'And a bit easier to hide if needed'. Luckily there wasnt much traffic this time of day so I made it across with ease. Once I reached the park I tought I heard voices talking and laughing.
I didn't see any humans here... also if they were close they would be much louder. 'I should probably hurry up and hide just to be safe' I quickly went inside the nearest bush and decided to wait 'til I could deduce where the sound came from. However the voices only seemed clearer and closer than before. Peeking through my leafy hideout I couldnt see anyone, only a flock of pidgeons that had taken a rest and some green objects beside them. 'Are those baskets?' Climbing up and closer to get a better view something bright flew past startling me so that I lost my grip on the branch and fell.
"Alright, this group is unpacked and ready to go home."
"Ok everyone. thanks for helping us carrying all this stuff, now of you go."
I tried to get up and get out from where I had landed when suddenly everything started to move around knocking me down on my butt again. "hey! whats going on out there?" Now gripping the walls of my enclosure I managed to get to peek over the edge, however as soon as I did, I immidiatly regretted it. "Woah! I'm really high up, like, really, really high!" Panic creeping in on me I tried my best to stay calm but to no avail. Feeling the basket sway in in the wind and how it seemed to get higher and higher by the minute I started to feel nauscious making me trow up and eventually passing out.
