During autumn, the copse of trees which crowned it was a speckle of oranges, yellows, and reds. In winter, the hill was the first place to settle with snow. But during spring, it became a woodland garden of bluebells. People traveled from nearby towns and villages to see the spectacle. Dedicated paths were cut through the forest floor to ensure that none of the precious flowers would be harmed.
Their fragrance was sweet, yet subtle. And as the light broke through the canopy in places, their bluish hue transformed to purple. Emilia and Lila followed the path up to the very top of the hill, always mindful to stick to it. Once they reached the top, a wider track cut through the copse of trees, framing the tower, which sat right in the center.
As they walked towards the building, Amelia couldn't help but notice small doors sitting at the foot of the trees. The locals called these fairy doors. No one knew who had placed them here, and no one really wanted to. It was enough to take joy in them and entertain the idea that perhaps fairy tale creatures did live amongst the bluebells. The tower itself had a single door at the far side.
It was never opened and the only clue as to what was inside was through the windows. These, however, sat close to the very top and so were inaccessible. It was the tower itself that corresponded to point four on the map. It was large and imposing. Unlike the buildings in the village, it was made of a smooth, dark red brick The top of the tower was flat, and rising from it was a single light.
At night, it could be seen for miles around, signaling to the residents that home was not too far away. The artist had commissioned the building for reasons which nobody fully knew. but all appreciated it. The final point was just on the other side of the tower, at the edge of the tree line. With Lila happily plodding by her side, Amelia reached it, the bridge to nowhere, or so the sign said.
It was a gently arching wooden bridge. It did not cross a stream, nor a path, not even a ditch. It was a bridge without purpose. She gazed at it curiously. Within moments, two children arrived. Without any hesitation, they ran over it and back again. They jumped on it, they ran under it. That it didn't have any real function didn't bother them one bit.
Thank you.

As for tonight's story, I know it's a highly anticipated return for many of you to one of our most beloved and popular lead characters. Even though we've only had a couple of Augie the Cat stories up to this point, I seem to get requests for new ones every single week. Es ist wundervoll, dass so viele von euch von Augies Geschichten sind, geschrieben von Alicia Stefan und gelesen von Simon.
In diesem Abendes-Installment werden wir mit Augie einsteigen, als sie sich vor dem furchtbaren Dilemma der Menschen befindet, eine andere Katze zu bringen. Rest assured, she'll end up managing the situation with grace and intelligence. Because, naturally, she is good at everything. And if you haven't met Augie before, or you missed either of her previous adventures, don't worry.
You can enjoy tonight's episode all on its own, and listen to the other ones later. Augie doesn't mind. Before we begin, let's immerse ourselves in the luxurious sleepiness of a cat lazing about on a comfy spot, perhaps on a sunny windowsill or a warm, plush cushion. So ensure you're comfortable and snug, stretching out any areas you need to release tension from
Und dann lassen Sie Ihren Körper sich bewegen und Ihr Atmen langsam. Lassen Sie die Geräusche in Ihrem Umfeld Teil Ihrer träumenden Erfahrung werden. Sie brauchen Sie nicht zu zerstören oder Sie zu bedrohen. Blende nur in Ihren träumenden Zustand
Sie erinnern Sie sich an nichts mehr, als dass die Welt sich weiter verändern lässt, während Sie sich in Ruhe einstellen lassen und sich still und versammelt lassen lassen. Fühlen Sie die Leichtheit Ihres Pillens, Sie halten Ihren Kopf in einem komfortablen Umbruch.
And as your breathing continues to lengthen, release more and more tension with each exhale, along with any thoughts of the day just gone. And now we can turn to our story. So, begin to picture a cozy house and a rainy forecast. The weather outside is blustery, but Augie is safe and sound indoors. And the entire lovely lazy day stretches before her. Hier beginnt unsere Geschichte.
