They started catching on. The undergrounds known as Poolikesans think we are at the bottom of everything. They keep digging deeper than they should with their diamond tipped shovels, hitting volcanic vents, calling lava the potency of god.

The up-grounds known as Topsies think we are around them; as rivers and animals mostly.

There are so many now. When we planted the life tree we had no idea. The Poolikesans drain its roots for a drink they call “instant death.” Ironic since it is in all aspects very very pure life. New things have shown up. Leathery fire breathing quadrupeds, One eyed giants, vegetable beings that grow inside stone beings, that grow inside ideas. Everything is breathing.

The mass exponential growth of this life has caused need for us to intervene, before the life tree substantially injures the resources and vitality of the planet. With such rapid and massive scales of life, they have started their own cultures. They separate themselves from men.

Men call them Monsters.
