Gigi Dreams

Prepare yourselves to embrace what’s coming to you. You are about to read something slightly out of the ordinary...

As sixteen-year-old Gigi Dreams woke up on a cold and misty morning, there was absolutely nothing to suggest that something very peculiar was about to be found that day.

Gigi lived in an orphanage on the island of Shetland. The kind-hearted couple and owners, Mr. and Mrs.LucridMclacral, had chosen the most odd house for the children and themselves: the biggest tree-house/ground-house there was. You see, it was a house that was seven stories tall, and the first floor was the only one that wasn’t enveloped in the tall and trusty oak tree that was 200 years old. The tree grew around the house, (which took about 70 years) and so people just decided to make the house part tree house as well.

A total of 26 children, 2 grown-ups, and 20 pets that were all not afraid of heights (luckily) resided in that building. (7 cats, 9 dogs, 2 turtles, 1 wild white peacock, and 1 fat old goldfish named sally)

Gigi’s weekly job was to go down to Mr. Muffin’s Marvelous Merchandise Market and buy all the food needed. Such as cat chow, dog food, bird food, pet toys, litter-box pellets, new leashes and cages, milk, cheese, vanilla ice cream, (for an after-dinner treat for her and the others) bread, water, and whatnot. She had to walk quite a long way to get there. So one day, she decided to take a shortcut.
