Resumen del Editor

Book one of the Wappy Ding-Do Trilogy by British author Paul Cook (author of the Pete the Bee stories) charts the entity's encounter and captivity within the liquid silver lake in perpetual suspension inhabited by the malevolent Dalbinae. This short can be enjoyed by listeners of 11 years and older.

The wappy ding-do kind of was but, well, sort of wasn't either. Perhaps something more than a soul of mere essence, but somewhat less than a corporeal presence. The wappy ding-do was, in fact, a globule of glandular lesions and fibroid connectors, invisible to the human eye but nevertheless tangible in a unique spectral, fluid-like, temporal universe. There were none to succor this creature and no instinct had it upon which to draw save the energy which emanated from the deep infinite.

Depth does not imply an ocean, but rather the ethereal undefined dimensional space in which the wappy ding-do was found to exist. Quite possibly there are billions of this species co-existing in a parallel, yet disjunct ecosystem in a preordained tapestry of linear mutual survival. Moreover, and more probably, the wappy ding-do was a unique species quite separate from any classified genum. In short, the creature drifted in an immense ocean of conscious sub-consciousness, unaware and yet fully sentient.

In short, the wappy ding-do existed in its own singular, self-contained world and any flux which occurred in its immediate environment served as nothing more consequential to it than if a suggested shadow of a billionth of a nano-particle of air had spontaneously ceased to be, somewhere on an undiscovered world.
