You're free!
After a fierce storm over the weekend, your pond has flooded. The moist conditions have triggered the algal partner in a little pixie cup lichen on a rock to divide.
These unusual conditions have created you: a flagellated, short lived cyanobacteria who is out to have some free-living fun.
Let's go!
But is this the kind of life you're meant to have?
Submitted as part of Bitsy Jam 91: Lichens. Since I am a plant person, I had to do this one. :-)

I had a lot of fun with this one! It's a parable that surprisingly hasn't been explored before, and there's a lesson in there. It kept my attention all the way through to the end, even after my many false steps and an overly-trusting cyanobacterial tendency. :)
lol that was cute! love the anthropomorphisation of these lil' guys, educational and dangerous!! loved the multiple routing and the reflection of unforgiving nature!
