Not long ago, I used to live inside a big tree that stood beautifully on the edge of a meadow. All the local bugs and other creautures, that you humans call insects and creepy-crawlers, called the world Bugdow. The Buglow was on the outskirts of a big town. I was happy living there. It was an extremely quiet and cosy place. I would seat on a tip of a leaf with my first pair of hands behind my head and the second pair on my knees and feel the soft wind brushing on my grin and slimy skin and making my antena-shaped whiskers look a mess. I usually ran these relaxation sessions at sunset hours, because, for me, it was a particular pleasure to watch the sun go down, leaving behind all hues of red in the sky, over the distant townscape and over all of Bugdow. Then I would go home, it was as I said, inside a huge tree. It was a beautiful place. Inside the tree there were lines of bell-shaped flowers with a little garden full of pretty flowers. Mine was one of the last houses, it was like all others, just that it was as white as snow. I would go in, sit on my favourite leafy chair and have a cup of camomile tea with ginger-bread biscuits. After that I would always, go to my room, kneel on my bed and open the small window to listen to my favourite cricket tunes until I would fall asleep peacefully whilst the dark summer night, lit all it's twinkling stars over the green meadow. It was a perfect life of a perfect bug, who lived mostly invisible against an emerald-green background of the home tree foliage. But that all started to change. It started slowly and then changed quickly and drastically my cosy life. I started this diary last spring on request of my bug friends and other meadow creatures, because I was the first to notice that something went wrong...
I loved the prologue! I thought that children were the only ones with imagination but I was wrong. We all have a little bit of it which later turns into a lot of it. I can't find any mistakes and this is the prologue so it doesn't have to be very long. Can't wait till u post the next one. Pls send me a read request, I would be very greatfull.
100/100 Keep up! and Don't give up! Really want to see the rest of the plot and story.
Not sure if you meant 'seat' or 'sit' in the 6th sentence, just thought id point that out :-) really really cute story, i found it also quite funny ! :D
I would read it over aloud to catch some of those spelling and grammatical errors. You are using British English, correct? There were a bit too many commas in some places(I'm nit picking) but over all, I loved it. I liked how the main character's a bug. It's sort of nasty that he's a bug but it's cute too. I wonder what happened to his COZY life. It makes me want to keep reading. Nice Prologue, short and tot.

Yes I am using British and thanks for the correction! :D
Spacing "onthe" Creatures spelt wrong in the second line. Putting tp instead of to. Remember to paragraph! One big mess isn't nice to read. Please review things carefully before posting them on the site!
