Acorn time, a time to lift up your head and stand tall

Most people will have days when they feel shriveled up. Acorn time is a portrayal of comforting yourself and escaping from that feeling. The author has amalgamated the real body with the feeling and shrunk the protagonist’s body. Then, he goes into the paint frame of the squirrel that opens the acorn lid.  Inside, the protagonist rolls around aimlessly or stares at thesky emptying his mind and having a period of rest. After his mind has been healed a little, the protagonist comes out of the acorn and waits for other acorn time journeyers, staring into the starry sky together.
