you stumble in your sun-drunk stupor across the forest floor, taking in the smells of the cooled earth after resting in a sun baked clearing. you stop at a creek to take a sip of the fresh water and as soon as you look up from your refreshment, you spot a deer staring straight at you, almost through you. it takes you a second to realize that the deer is looking less and less like something you've seen in your life before.

the both of you stare at each other for what feels like hours, until some little birds flit through the air between you, breaking the silence. the deer bows and an unfamiliar voice whispers in your head, "thank you for sharing your time with me. stay safe."

the deer straightens itself out, lingers for a moment longer, then promptly bounds off, leaving your field of vision within seconds.

(thank you MutatedCry for the palette!! the paintings you made for the moodboard are incredible!)
