Prologue

A Chapter by Roxana
"

I would sit on the tip of a leaf...

"
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...

An intriguing start to what looks like a promising fairy tale...very nice job. Grammar-wise, I just see the odd spelling error: antena is antenna, leavy is leafy, and "it's twinkling stars doesn't need the apostrophe :)

"creautures" Should be creatures. But aside from that a good Prologue :)
