sensational! I was so provoked to think of the meaning in the last sentence! And the beginning almost reminded me of "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. great story!

I loved it, except the bit where you said 'wandering of dirt'. Doesn't make much sense to me (although that might be me being silly :S). What about wander-way. It's not a word, but it's hypenated, and it SOUNDS pretty.
