Secrets of Puppet Play (by Scratchy Granny)

Voodoll Puppets:
1. known by The Secret Scavenger People (SSP)
2. also have pins stuck in them -
but are distinctively dissimilar to "voodoo" puppets,
although also magical (muti-creatures)...

Uncle Bubba and the Little Owl

Uncle Bubba walks into the lost spaces of the world
where forgotten tree castles and scraptreasures go.
Places overgrown and invaded by creatures and... things.
and he loses the ways of people and gets lost from the world.


That's when he finds the little owl.

Hello little owl, Uncle Bubba says to the owl.
(The little owl is too little to say anything back.)
Its mother is gone, thinks Uncle Bubba. Fallen from his nest above, hmmm...

So he takes the owl with him,
hoping to find help for his little friend.

What's that? asks a girl who looks remarkably like a tigermonkey.
It's my friend, the little owl, says Bubba. I want to help him.
Well, isn't that what tigermonkeys do?
What?
Anything!
What, who's a tigermonkey?
YOU.
I think you're the tigermonkey.
I think YOU're the tigermonkey.
What?

The girl laughed really loud. Bubba thought she was funny.

Can you climb trees? she asks.
Bubba nods, unsurely.
And make muti?
Muti?

Do you know Scratchy Granny?
Who? What? Bubba's brain is spinning. This girl makes no sense.

And then she runs off.

That was quite confusing, says Bubba to his little owl friend.

Come-on!!! he hears the girl shout.
And he runs after her, for some reason. Owl tucked in his pocket, he starts climbing deeper into the overgrown world...
