EVERY OTHER GHOST — open, joining

he was here. this planet was so nice! the blue sky was so pretty, and there was green everywhere! the textures were all so new... the grass was crunchy under his little paws, and then the breeze on his fur calmed him. he could understand how life came to be here- it was perfect for life! he breathed in the oxygen, releasing the carbon dioxide. he had done so much research, he understood how mammalian bodies worked. he was a mammal! if he was female, he could have experienced the miracle of live birth, though he couldn't really decide that. he was a male, carrying both an x and a y chromosome! that was amazing, he thought. two different chromosomes!

once he got over his feelings about his body, he decided to figure out where he was. he was in some sort of field, surrounded by cute little pink and blue flowers. the sun rose, signifying that it was morning. he studied a pastel blue flower, then crouched down. "hello, fellow native lifeform of this planet! my name is amnia! can you tell me where we are located?" of course, the flower didn't respond, but that didn't trouble the child. "oh! i see you don't have a speaking apparatus. that is alright! i will ask somebody else."

he turned. there was just a bunch of the flowers and nobody else. well, he'd have to get to asking every one of these flowers, and he started.
