You brought the robot back! Yay! Also I'm with the kid: I'm not fond of dogs crying either, or cats come to that. This was a great story: you really captured a child's POV.

I'm a fairly new reader here, so now I'll have find the stories of which others speak, with Druid!

Hi Gina! "Druid" is linked at the bottom of this story, or you can find it at the Ferris Island Index! 😁

Just finished it. It was fun to read Old Spiderlegs first and then to learn the backstory! Very enjoyable reads.

I really enjoyed this. A lot packed into a short story. Somehow, I could also see this as a picture book or short TV film for kids.

I loved this so much! Beautiful Druid, living his best life with his family. It took me a moment to realise who was found!
