    When I’m out in the woods at night I do have to remind myself I’m probably the most dangerous thing in them to keep the spookies at bay.

    Apart from the bears. And the the skinwalkers.

      And the raccoons. Never underestimate a raccoon, they’re a deft hand with a switchblade.

        I recently went camping at a provincial park. About 4 am in the morning, I heard something walking through the bush. Realized it was a raccoon. When I got up to go to washroom, I turned on my head lamp which caused the raccoon to walk away. That raccoon was a chonkers.

        When I got back from the washroom, I caught the same raccoon standing over a bunch of juice boxes. Got into a staring contest with the raccoon with me thinking “Seriously? We’re doing this right now?” The raccoon that waddled away/ If that raccoon could talk, I am pretty sure it would try to gas light me.

        I always thought reincarnating as a well loved house cat would be awesome. Now, I am thinking coming back as a provincial park raccoon wouldn’t be so bad.

    (Twoflower) “Oh. Do you think there’s anything to eat in this forest?”

    “Yes,” said the wizard bitterly, “us.”

    My childhood would suggest that this is literally true.

    I spent a ton of time in the woods, often alone. Magically never ended up on Unsolved Mysteries.
