#i tell hal to wait and he stops and i grab his leash (he runs wild at night)

[writhe]

night took a rough turn but i’m thankful for the smell of the dirt & the woods, holy shit

i think i would be a fundamentally different person if it weren’t for this forest

#and i met an Entity #this is like 3 miles in and it’s totally dark #im about halfway across the marsh and i realize i see someone with two dogs #i tell hal to wait and he stops and i grab his leash (he runs wild at night) #and we’re at a weird standstill #it was dark and im much less observant when im upset about something #he had 2 dogs and he was just like tall and wide and i couldn’t tell you anything else #i was probably a similarly nondescript figure with a beast #and the interaction was sooo strange but not unpleasant at all #he had a really deep voice but like it was being ran through a filter it was unusually deep (i mean this fondly not like it’s negative #*negative) #and we’re talking in the wind in the dark of the marsh for a sec about whether or not the gate was closed #and he’s like ‘it was nice seeing you’ which hinted at a level of familiarity even just vibewise #and then as soon as we properly walked away from each other i began to smell candle wax very vividly
