Chapter 38

I know using the pain I was feeling to distract me from the shocking revelation that I’m not really on earth anymore wasn’t the most healthiest of things to do when trying to avoid certain topics but to be honest it really isn’t that different from the rubber band trick.

I’ll just … confront this later when I’m not in the direct pathway of a fire.

I was still growing my mycelium along the pathway I used to reach the foreign mushroom. I was about done when in the middle of growing the last one I felt footsteps along my sensory network back at site one of my experimental mushrooms.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

Is this dude is seriously about to chomp down on my mushroom in the middle of an emergency? They must seriously have the munchies. I've been there.

But to my surprise it doesn’t eat the chem mushroom.

It just collapses.

The whole area is super damp too, so when it hits the ground the water splashes all around the area. I could tell cuz some of the mycelium bent a bit after the splatter.

Was it exhausted after running away from the fire?

The dude's got time for a small break but I don’t know if it'll be safe here for long. Heck I don’t even know ill survive with enough resources intact.

I felt kind of bad for the little guy. I sent some water up the mycelium right around where I think it’s mouth is. Hopefully its aware enough to drink some water.

Come on little buddy drink up, if I have to live in this miserable world so do you.
