Chapter 70

  i started cannibalizing the carapaces. The idea was a great one and I would keep it in mind the next time another fire comes along.

  I’m happy that multiple new ideas and inventions came out of it, but I cant help but think of all the destruction it caused. I’m sure if I grew in the direction of where the fire came from I would find many dead animals in my path. Not to mention all the dead trees and plants.

  I even had to leave behind that foreign mushroom. Im sure its still there… in fact I should really find out how it’s doing. Maybe provide it with nutrients to get it back to health.

  I mean If I wanted to reconnect with it I’d practically have to. Last time I checked the mushroom was in massive pain. While the fire had long since moved on from its’ vicinity chances were high it was still experiencing pain.

  I can’t help but think what evolution was thinking when it created this one. What sort of biological incentive did this mushroom have in order to develop a nervous system? Sadly I might never know.

  I started growing a new pathway in it’s direction. The old pathway left the soil a bit loose so it was pretty easy to get started.

  While I started on that I had to mull over how I was going to spread the lichen to other trees.
