Also, I really love the line, "There's a nice breeze blowing the sting off the sunshine."

Post by: lesdiaboliques on June 12, 2018, 01:00:23 PM: This was a surprisingly happy story that I found really refreshing, without being too sweet. The characters were really brought to life by the narration and this story is one of the strongest examples I’ve experienced of audio fiction.

I liked picturing the story in my head. Kind of like Easter rabbits, without any chocolate.

I still find myself thinking of what it would be like to live there and what would happen to those of that have brown thumbs.

Post by: Ichneumon on September 06, 2018, 07:49:22 PM: I liked the multiple unique fantastic elements in this story. I thought the talking, human sized rabbits were going to be it, and then the cute little vegetables were introduced. That's when I was really won over.
