entry 3: finds

 

a dying stump in its last efforts to grow into something bigger than its beheadedness,rooting and branching into a wooden throne for a forest king. the baby flowers blooming and the old vines crawling is evidence that hes been sitting there for possibly quite awhile.

i found this structure on an alternative route to my home. as of now,ive counted roughly....7 possible routes i could take.it took me a year to finish mapping it out, mostly because i was distracted with other adventures and accidentally stumbled across routes that led me back. 3 was what i stuck with, the rest's purely coincidental. still,i keep them all in my back pocket along with my trusty compass.

a hidden treasure,or well, a secret funeral thats long outdated. a deer curled and comforting itself even in demise,a preys instincts. i wonder if it was aware of doomsday. circling it were smaller bones that only God knows where they were from and which animal/s were sacrificed. if animal at all. 

this one, was found near a burial ground.i remember walking the perimeter of a graffiti covered building before finding these tombstones out back, inviting me for a prayer.bushes surrounded them rather than overgrow them like even Earth didn't dare touch death. 

the bones were placed meticulously, thats for sure. it wasnt natural, this person engages with death. to defy it? to bargain with it?im not too sure. but it creeps me out lol.
