"In a chorus of falling leaves, two beings from different worlds will bring an end to everything."
People of the trees shouldn't mingle with people on the ground, but true love's chorus can't help but interfere.
Stars. Moon. Sun. Melina has heard the terms but she lives on the ground where she can't see them. Rescued from her own dimension at such a young age, she doesn't remember these things. Her interest leads her to Middle Ground, a college that is for both people on the ground, and the ones who live in trees. She had hoped to meet one.
She didn't expect one to fall for her after she practiced her sheet music.
Neither did she expect that relationship to either start or stop an oncoming apocalypse.
Length: 20k. This standalone tale about romance with the people of the trees is about an hour long depending on reading speed.
