Stop! Don't be a saint!

"So, like, have you ever wanted to eat a whole egg? Shell and everything?" I asked, lying down on the floor. My legs fluttered up and down as they hit the creaking oak of the floorboards before shooting back up. The scent of the fresh trees slowly wafted in the room, but it wasn't enough to overpower the stench of the mold and fungus growing in here in the treehouse.

A damp, dark place with no noise or movement, of course there was mold and fungus here.

"So, have you? Shell and stuff? Yes?"

"..."

No response.

"Gah! Say something!" I grabbed my hair and kicked the floor wildly as my body twisted left and right in annoyance at the quiet.

Why? What did I do to get stuck in this place with this girl, dear lord! And like, what even is she? Why doesn't she say anything? Is she a goddamn spirit?
