Felltree Marsh new year’s day

"How the hell did you get stuck in the dirt?" a familiar voice asked.

Blackbird searched her surroundings until her eyes landed on Mae, and she felt some relief in seeing her former packmate. I don't fuckin' know! she shot back, picking up the word she'd heard @Arric use on more than one occasion. It doesn't e-even feel like dirt! It feels like sand! But there was no use discussing semantics, especially as she was being pulled to her death.

Please, her voice grew desperate; her chin grazed the surface, and she thrashed her legs to move, but nothing worked. Help me, Mae!
