English language - planning a short story

 Scribed for Niamh as I wanted her to be able to focus on what I was asking her to do, and while I scribed, she researched.

She needed to know if her idea was realistic and while this is creative writing, I think it's excellent that Niamh's perfectionism means that the main points of the story are correct. (squirrel age/sex, whether baby squirrels are abandoned by their mothers).
