Mark Twain wrote “Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it.” this is ofc NOT factually correct but it does sounds nice, right? Ugh. Dolphins💀 Or Orcas. Or Otters. Or.... Point is Animals are plenty nasty as a bunch. Humans Beeing Animals and all. But that wasn't where i was going with this.Atm im in The Woods™ faceing a moral dillema. Man or Bear. I know right! But yes.
To My right sitting on it's fluffy ass is about 200 kg (or 417.5 lbs) of bone and muscle mass. And to My left is ✨Guy✨ as i've dubbed him. Now Guy has been following My sorry ass for the better half of a week. Btw why do people call it "The better half"?
Aaaand there goes Guy interrupting my internal monolog. Quite rudely if i might ADD. Hah. Get it? XDAnyways. Thaaat isss. A. Fucking. Sword. He's running straight (not)
towards me as i try to cordinate my legs to move. Un expectedly Guy holds out his left hand to push me out of the way and just.. charges? The bear. The bear that is no longer a bear if i am to believe my spectation spheres.
A woman as glorious as the setting sun has melded of the skin of the bear. Musculed body connectin to a hand larger than my head swipes down sending Guy head first in to the underbush.Now. You would think i had the good sense to at least BREATH. But no, Good reader, we have Lost The Plot. 404 error. The person whose brain you are trying to connect to can not be reached.
Where i to die at this very moment i would simply not care. This vision of a woman in front of me has allowed me to reach Nirvana. Rip. And either due to the mere presence of this divine being oooor because i've been holding my breath for a solid minute and a half... I promptly passed out.Waking up was like falling asleep in a way. Ya won't know it's happening till it does. A sunbeam has me squintg as i try to check out my surroundings. Green canvas blankets the space around me. On my right rickety looking shelves house all kinds of jars and boxes. And across from me Guy is laying on a cot similar to what i awoke on. Also knocked out.
Useing an elbow i prop up my torso to get that blasted light out my eye. Such over stimulation was not apreciated by the pounding headace i seem to have conjured.Ya know, mayhaps i am bi? Now that Guy wasn't actively chasing my sorry ass i could ascertain that dude was -is srsly hawt. Dark slighty curly hair, toned complexion and lashes i would buy at saphora. My eyes follow as spit bubbles collect at the corner of his lip... Same.
Now (thoroughly feeling like a creep) i gathered my limbs and push my weary body to sit at the edge of the cot.
Priorities. What happened? Last thing i recalled was running aroud like a headles chicken in the wood with Guy when Bear Lady showed up. After that tho? Nothing. Hmm typical.Hearing steps i pull my sight from the dirt floor. No no. Def Gay. A friend of Dorothy. Queer as a three dollar bill. I. You get it.
Standing at the tent doorway is that Lady i last saw before passing out. Her frame backlit at the tent doorway. It was like staring directly at the sun (i mean literally but o k) and i was mesmerized. Was this a god? And if not then divinity was a word lacking depth.Right, so. Mind out da gutter. The lady's talking. Listen in and f o c u s.
During that embarrassing brain freeze she had moved further in to the space and was now looming over me, face pinchd with concerne looking down. (New kink unlocked, shit staaaphh)"You alraight? Can you hear me?"
..."Maby you hit your head passing out like that" she mutterdGrasping on to fragments of my verbal capacities"uuh.. Hi?"... Dignified -_-
