From your vantage point in the trees, you take great joy in pelting unsuspecting lumberjacks with splinters and branches with the speed of a bullet. But probably only those who super deserve it.  There exists no description of what you look like, because you are so quick that you have never been seen by human eyes. However, we all know you’re incredibly gorgeous. You also only have babies in odd numbers and you eat hoot owls and woodpeckers. So you keep on shooting your excellence into the world, Patricia, it’s what you were made for.
