a moment of silence

there was something distinctly…ominous about this place. Dulla fought back a shiver, but she couldn’t stop the way the hairs on the back of her neck stood on edge the deeper she traversed this land. every step felt tremulous, only buoyed by the occasional scrape of something sharp and hard against her feet.

so far, she was doing a pretty good job at avoiding these strange lumps - but as she caught sight of a woman in the distance, a moment’s distraction causes her to trip and stumble. “ow!” she hissed, wincing as pain shot up her leg. blood oozed down her ankle and collected in the show, and tears gathered in her eyes from the sting.
