The bog re

I'm actually kinda gobsmacked this came outta my hands; it's entirely beyond my comfort zone! But I felt like, as an Irish person, the prompt of "bog" was too important to not give it my all. Did you know that it takes 3 years for your footprint to disappear on a bog? (well, on Sphagnum moss. I've learned so much about bogs this week just prepping for this hahah!)
In reality, I loathe bogs. I mean, I understand they're important from an ecological standpoint, but I will never get the noise - the squelch of a shoe claimed by the bog - out of my head; it's happened to me far too many times. The memories of bog are the memories of saturated toes and socks that'll never be the same again.

And of course it makes me think of Watership Down. "My heart has ed the Thousand, for my friend stopped running today."
