Cell City Story

CELLULAND #847234

Once upon a time, there was a town called Celluland. In the center of Celluland, was an information center called the Nucleus. This was the place where everyone went to retrieve their brains.
There are an infinite number of Cellulands, and they are all alike. Surrounding the entire city was a massive wall that kept all the inhabitants in, like a prison. It also kept intruders out, as well as the huge Atlantic Ocean (aqueous environment).. While the wall kept people in, occasionally there were visitors who could come through the wall. They were helped in by Security Proteins, but they were very size and shape discriminatory.
A big business in the town is the Golgi Post Office. It modifies, sorts, and packages all the products made in Celluland, and then sends it out to all of the citizens. The people of Celluland are very environmentally conscious, and so there was Mitochondra Inc., which served the purpose of garbage composting. This compost produces energy to fuel the entire town!
There is a bakery called “Ribosome’s”, which makes protein and RNA cookies. There are a bunch of these little bakeries, on top of Endoplasmic Reticulum Square. Only the ER’s live on this square. The ER’s are a group of artists, and since the city is so green, they make their art out of old materials, which they transform into something useful and functional. There is the Peroxisome Police Station, which fought crime in the form of the bad Toxins.
The plantlife is made mostly of Cilia and Flagella, which moves, so you have to watch out for it!
Since people have too many belongings, they have to store them somewhere! There are separate storage houses called Plastids (to store the solid things) and Vacuoles (for all their liquids).
The city is enclosed in a giant bubble called the Cytoskeleton, which provides shape, yet is flexible for easy movement within the ocean. The bubble is made up of certain spindle fiber materials called microtubules (which are organized into centrioles). These allow the city to split and break apart into separate parts once it is time. Until that time comes, however, Intermediate Filaments help strengthen the bubble so it is not destroyed. In order for it to move around in the ocean, there are microfilaments which allow the bubbles change of shape and movement!
