There is an Island covered in towering trees, filled with swaying leaves. They spoke amongst themselves enjoying the Sun's warm embrace. Down below where the light didn't shine through a habitat resides. Working so hard to provide nutrients to animals allowing them to thrive. Overtime, the storms that would pass through went on for weeks then months then years. Until it finally stopped and the sun came back out again allowing the trees to soak up the warmth from the Sun.

"This is just what we needed" A beautiful Quercus said to the others. "I can't wait to stretch out my leaves" another one said lifting up his leaves.

"Excuse me..." There was a voice down below shy and tempted.

There was silence, an awkward silence.

"Yes?" Quercus responded "Speak up"

"Could you please allow some sunlight down below..it would help us very much" She spoke up allowing her voice to reach the top.

"What is in it for us? Nothing is ever free you know" Quercus lifted up their leaves stretching its branches across the sky.

"I'm asking for a little sunlight to dry up the mud below, the animals are covered in mud and the plants are wilting. I'm not asking for much" a couple of animals were walking through the sludge while the plants hung low to the ground.

The Quercus rumbles "It's not our responsibility to cater to you. We have worked so hard to grow this tall we have earned our spot here. If you don't have anything to offer Leave. us .be."

"I've worked hard myself, so sparing some sunlight wouldn't hurt.." She spoke up again "The storm was rough for all of us." The Sun continues to shine before slowly disappearing beyond the horizon.

"The Sun has already set beyond the horizon, we must retire for the night" The Quercus lowered their leaves swing against the wind.

\[Let me know if you want a part 2\]

I've been testing out ideas for a project for about a year. I've noticed that even though I've worked on it for awhile it doesn't seem like the elements worked out very well. The experience was meaningful even though I hated some parts of the ARG. I keep coming back to the feeling of wanting to leave the Arg how it is and abandon it, although I keep getting this feeling to finish the project because it feels unfinished.

[Update: I have taken the time to think about why putting the ARG on hold is probably the best idea for me right now. I didn't realize how it would probably affect me mentally since the inspiration was a personal one and it was also inspired by Hi I'm Mary Mary . I do want to finish the project at some point.]
