Enter the Woods – 10.3

10:3 Kim snapped her gaze up to stare at Rapunzel. A whole lot of “What the Fuck” surged behind her clenched teeth.

Enter the Woods – 9:5

9:5  Oof.    Ben fell back and rubbed his wrist, eyeballing the giant mirrored ball standing stark against the verdant forest he’d been wandering for who knew how many meros after he stepped off the path in pursuit of Patti.
