Overview
Once upon a time, through a knot hole in human character there was a curious world of critters who had somehow become much more human than...well, humans. Yes, they still looked like dogs, ducks, chickens, bees, frogs, fish, birds and even rats but one night everything changed...on the inside. As humans moved faster and faster, moving to and fro, focusing on their pads, screens, phones and other entertainment modules, their “human-ness” just slipped right out of them. Like a wet sheet in the spin cycle of a washer...kindness and orneriness, alike, spun right off the humans because they were just moving too fast. Well, all that emotion had to go somewhere. So, as it goes, good and bad rolls downhill and one night, for those humans who had creatures in their midst, all the stuff that makes humans, human, covered the critters like cake batter spattering the unsuspecting, simple creatures. Imagine waking to find the full range of emotions when you are a creature no one particularly likes. This is her story...Evergreen.
