The tree house was untouched for a long time. Not many kids came there anymore since they all found themselves to be 'too old' for that kind of thing. That and the roof leaked, the floors creaked, and there was a terrible draft*. But one found it a lovely little house, and therefore claimed it for herself. Gamma used it as a hideout, and she kept toads there. The leaking caused a nice habitat for all of her slimy amphibian pets.
On a long stick that protruded from the tree house, Gamma had hung a flag with the Repitan symbol. A round point-down green triangle with two small lines on the upper corners. She grew accustomed to calling it 'Fort Repitan' and visited it often with cabbage for her toads. It was a nice setup.
Today, Gamma sat in the fort reasing a magazine. A toad rested on her left knee, and another one perched quite comfortable on her head. Others roamed the floor taking their fill from the head of cabbage that Gamma had left sitting for them. Some devoured the flies that entered, attracted by the moistness and the cabbage which would spoil in a few days of being left in the moldy corner.
(*Quoth 'Squidward'.)
