Enter The Woods – 7:4

Enter The Woods – 7:2

Enter The Woods 6:11
6:11 The stairs around the tower were much easier to navigate now that their surface wasn’t uniformly black. And, also, now that they weren’t being chased up them by an omnivorous shadow. That, specifically, made the climb up to the next level easier. It also made it very easy to see the shining yellow tentaclesContinue reading “Enter The Woods 6:11”
Enter The Woods 6:10
6:10 Laughing under her breath, Siobhan put her hand on the square symbol. The lack of explosion was gratifying and it led her to press the triangle and then the circle again.

It made for an awkward climb, but she wasn’t exactly sure she wantedContinue reading “Enter The Woods 6:9”
