More Trees To Climb
3 hilarious short tales. Rich in wordplay, they are also touching tales of love and loss and what draws us together.
Three hilarious short tales that are rich in wordplay, but are also touching stories about love and loss and what draws us together.
More Trees To Climb explores themes of love, loss, and competitive tree-climbing, as experienced by the hero of "Coelacanth". This tale presents a boy-meets-girl story with a twist, a tumble, several daring somersaults from the branches, and the profound discovery that love—like the coelacanth fish, once thought extinct—can hide in the darkest depths.
In "Not Everything is Significant", we encounter a biographer grappling with writer's block and a meticulous footnoter. Together, they ponder the meaning of a mysteriously delivered diary that seems to predict the future, raising complex questions about the nature of destiny.
Finally, "Supercollider for the Family" depicts a couple facing unique challenges: he must build a supercollider small enough for household use, while she attempts a tightrope walk around the world. Their quests take us from a top-secret particle physics lab deep underground, with doors that go 'ssh' and women in catsuits, to the dizzying heights of a wire strung like a delicate silver thread between soil and sky.
Originally created for the stage, More Trees To Climb is infused with wit and overflowing with creativity, offering a dazzling and moving magic that captivates on the page.
