Gettin' Spookd

Sparrow was a good distance away from her home land, but she knew she would just go back soon anyway. She enjoyed her little escapes, however. She wanted to be able to go home and enjoy her time at home, but she just didn't anymore. The small girl climbed through the darkness, finding herself going deeper in her adventure than initially planned. The lower she climbed, the darker the cave became. Slowly- and at first Sparrow thought her eyes must be tricking her- she came upon light. The source of the light turned out to be the fungi that grew in the mossy cavern. Surely this couldn't be natural.

Sparrow was tempted to pick one to show her family, but soon decided it was probably better to keep the glowing plants away from any mucus membrane. Maybe Aunt Harmony would come with her next time? Maybe she could even bring her father? Memorized, Sparrow wandered slowly, carefully inspecting the strange plants.
