1st Story about Zone 15

I am a Night Time Zookeeper. I was in zone 15 of the Zoo when I came across a very peculiar sight. I was standing on the top of a very tall mountain next to a tree and a caldron full of elephant dung. (This magical substance, although smelly, does allow you to travel through space and time.) I was looking out at a bank of cloud that looked like a giant wave. The cloud was more than a mile long and was gracefully gliding across the green landscape in front of me. I was looking down on this massive cloud from the height of the mountain when suddenly I heard the thunder of hoofs behind me. I turned around and saw a herd of hurried Heffalumps charging up the steep mountain slope. I climbed the tree and then I watched a miraculous sight. As each of the Hurried Heffalump Herd reached the top of the mountain they leapt off! I then watched as they landed on the crest of the cloud and glided on it as if surfing. I was witnessing a herd of hurried Heffalumps surfing! What is a hurried herd of Heffalumps you may ask? Well I maybe the only Night Time Zookeeper in the world who can tell you. A Hurried Herd of Heffalump surfers exist in only two places; in the mind of a tiny bear named Pooh and on the surfing clouds of the GREAT sky that rises forever up from this dark earth.

Zone 15

Welcome to the blog of Zone 15! This Zone is one of 36 that I will eventually be setting up. Each blog will represent a square on a board game I am creating. The squares on the board represent different areas of a Zoo. The game involves the players taking on the role of Night Time Zookeepers. They have to move around the zoo and look after the animals in each zone. This is the blog for Zone 15 of the zoo. So when the players land on the square on the board that represents Zone 15 of the zoo they will look at this blog and read the stories about the animals that inhabit the zoo. I am asking people to submit, via email, stories and images about the animals they think could inhabit this zone of the zoo. I will then post these ideas on the blog so that the players can learn about the area of the zoo they are in. Please post comments of suggestions about the stories and images and engage in dialogue about what possible rules the players would have to abide by if they landed in this Zone. So instead of having to move backwards three spaces, perhaps because there are lots of dangerous animals in the zone the players have to whisper until they leave the zone. If you want to get involved please take note of my email address and email me you ideas so I can post them up. This is a trial blog but, as I say, eventually I will set up blogs for each of the zones. The board game will be available to purchase sometime in the future.
