this morning #674.

this morning, while wandering wildly off course, she stumbled across an unexpected sight. in the near distance, nestled amongst a patch of chokeberry bushes, there was a man. a body perhaps, depending on whether or not that man was breathing. either scenario frightened her. he definitely wasn’t moving & she definitely wasn’t going to make a move until she’d had a chance to think things through. what was he doing way out here? if he was alive, she might be putting herself in danger. if he wasn’t, she’d be saddled with the baggage of being the woman who found a dead body in the woods. slowly backing away & going about her day allowed her to avoid both outcomes.
