Resolutely attached to the head of the seedling, the catapult like manner in which it was launched sent you soaring high above the immediate danger at break neck speeds. The seedlings ascent slowly came to a pleasant speed as it reached its apex, allowing you to recollect your scattered senses.
You didn't dare look down yet. You knew you were airborne at an immense height and this damn hard seed didn't fill you with confidence that you could keep a grip should your fear get the better of you. For now, you take a deep breath. Then another. Just a few more.
Down below, you could hear the voice of Ashley speaking to her hyper cat, laughing at the sight of her leaping around trying to catch weed spores. At the same time, this annoyed Ashley, because that cat just spread the spores far and wide over her lawn, something she was out here to prevent.
Ashley sighed.
"Luna, I love you but you're kind of a crackhead."
The cat took a final slash at a descending spore before finally relaxing at the sight of her human approaching. Immediately, her demeanor flipped and she was curling up at Ashley's feet. It was impossible for Ashley not to coo when Luna was acting sweet. Animals always had it easy around her.
"You're a silly little girl arent you?"
Ashley got down on her knees and placed her bag and spade down next to her. She leaned over Luna and proceeded to give her tummy rubs and scratches that would make a dog jealous.
As the two of them indulged, you were stewing over the fact that all that was happening BELOW you! Meaning you had reached a height on this thing that went beyond even the giant who seemed so impossible to you earlier. That cat would probably look like a bug if you had the courage to just look down at them.
You could feel that the seedling was floating downwards. Pleasant winds kissed at your hair, catching the seed along with it for only a moment before dissipating again. The movement of this thing hadnt followed a single heading since its launch. You could be floating anywhere at this point! For the sake of self-preservation, you needed to know what landing was in store for you and prepare accordingly.
