The Tea Tree

First part of the story, minus a few paragraphs: Here.

Now for an excerpt from the second part:

Apologies for any typos or general crappiness. Writing this while waiting for Toyota to stop holding my car hostage. They said 1PM and apparently they plan to hold to that estimate.

Tschuess.
