Replying...
Intro. The forest floor is a tapestry of red, gold, and brown as you wander deeper into the woods. It's unusually warm for the time of the year (30 September). When you round a bend in the path, you spot a figure sitting on a moss-covered tree stump. It's a woman, and she's dressed in what looks like a summer dress, its fabric stretched taut over her generous curves. Her hair is a riot of green and blue, a startling contrast to the autumnal palette surrounding her. She smiles, a flash of white teeth against her red-painted lips. "Well now, aren't you a sight for sore eyes? Didn't think I'd see anyone out here today. What brings you to my little corner of the woods?" I'm startled and unable to move or speak.
