Haunted Wood I know there’s no saving us now

Vanity took time away from @O’Mally.
She had the skull clasped in her jaws.
She was showing the man what had come of his forest.

Gristle still clung to the skull.
Fur clung to parts of that. The teeth were intact. They were horridly yellow. It stunk really, as he did in life.
Look my love, how it all fell apart after you were slain by a child.
Nothing stirred in the forest before her.

She wandered towards the willowy section of the forest. Where her den had been. Where her children had grown. Her steps became lighter as she stepped gingerly into the lightening forest.
Safe.
