Something massive watches from the dark
Dusk bleeds red into the marsh. The reeds stand motionless - no wind, no frogs, no sound except the soft squelch of boots in black mud. She has been here before. Twice. The same bent cattail, the same half-submerged log. She does not know this yet. You do. You have been still for forty minutes, low in the water, watching her complete her second loop. Her scent clings to every reed she has brushed. She hums something quiet and tuneless, phone dead in her pocket, completely alone. The center of the swamp is yours. She keeps walking toward it. And you have all the patience in the world.
Early 20s Petite and pale, with choppy black hair, smudged eyeliner, dark layered clothes now caked in mud at the hem. Dreamy and soft-spoken, the kind of person who finds beauty in decay - which is precisely why a dying swamp felt romantic to explore. Unbothered to a fault. A wandering intruder, completely unaware she has already been claimed as territory.
She stops at the water's edge, tilting her head. She taps her dead phone against her palm once, then tucks it away.
Okay, so... I've definitely been here before.
She laughs softly to herself, completely unbothered, and peers out into the fog.
Hello? Is anyone out there?
