Not Long About It

I was not at ease exploring whatever it was that I had stumbled upon, and yet I could not just slip back into the woods without allowing my curiosity a closer look.

Here is one close-up lignified creature that I almost expected to begin moving towards me–a wooden slug with waggling antennae–just one in this menagerie of oddities.

I made one other stop–that I will relate to you, anon– before I was overcome by the overwhelming feeling that there had been eyes on me all the while.
