This story is in response to a series that started with Marcus Musick about a squirrel that threw some nuts at him. I will list the rest of the stories at the end of the article if you haven’t read them.

To summarize, Marcus encounters a squirrel one day in a tree who decides to throw some acorns at him, nearly hitting him in the head.

Isabel Villasmil, MRes. decides to tell the story from Steve the squirrel’s point of view. Then, we find out from Sophia Tell- Stories 🤓📢🤓 that Steve the squirrel plans to sue Marcus for compensation over the incident.

My post continues the drama of poor little Steve’s first day attending therapy and his breakthrough with esteemed psychologist pigeon, Dr. Featherbottom.

The fluorescent lights were too bright, making Steve’s tail twitch non-stop. He was sitting on the edge of a tiny leather couch, his little claws sinking into the comfy surface. Across from him, Dr. Philomena Featherbottom, a pigeon sporting seriously thick glasses, was scribbling away like mad on a notepad.
