Oh! Am enjoying this :0) All the details about clothes and also the fizzy drinks are great. I would not have thought of them, but they make the reader instantly aware how weird and changed everything is. I do hope this is a long story!...

I like having moth in mothers, so the tree is part moth, that's clever
and "moon-felted" like the moon feels them as well as being soft as felt
