A tiny seed was pressed into damp earth beneath the first blush of dawn. A faint chill was felt in the air, and a gentle patter of water was allowed to soak the soil. Rustling leaves were heard nearby, and a hint of fresh grass was carried on the breeze. “It must be protected,” was often whispered by worried voices, though no faces were seen.

The longer it sat there the more of a presence it seemed to have. It was now like the hole that the others were creating in the house was now getting bigger. It felt like that one extra letter was going to have the house crumbling down. It was time to take contr...
