Pretty good!
This is a very good attempt to spawn a tiny mystery I think. lol. I had to look up xyloid actually, and this is what it said:
xy·loid (zloid) KEY
ADJECTIVE:
Of or similar to wood.
Cool...now I learned a new word to add to my ever expanding vocab dude! heh heh

Love the mini story. It's amazing how tight your work is. Once the contest is over, I'll need to go see just who you are!
Great job. -
Good one
You may want to squeeze in a G word. This is an interesting attempt to say something. Mine doesn't quite make sense I fear, but it almost does.
