Puck's 'Tree-house'

Our physical world is one of the fewer fixed habitats in existence; however even in its microcosmic regions the latitudes are infinite.
Yet concerning Space itself one finds that the prospects are indeed limitless, and map it though we might, we can only define Space by what it is that fills it, and not by that of its own substance and size.
Puck's 'tree-house' stood over eighty foot high and was decorated with hundreds of brightly coloured flags that climbed to the very highest branch.
If you were to walk around its massive leathery base it could take a hundred steps or more to arrive back to where you first began.
Amber sap glittered and dripped in voluptuous globs; knots and knobs and insect holes, peppered its exterior.
Puck had crafted a small whistle from one of the boughs and with two shrill notes, the entrancing doorway would appear.

-Gabriel Brunsdon, Puck in Hell, Azlander Series
