Rebecca Bagnol: Murky Waters

[oscar-minimum-wage-stp]

Oscar, don't think you've failed! You're just a little bat on a mission to save the forest! And you're doing great, even if you don't believe it! You'll succeed soon (maybe not so soon) and you'll be healed! And you'll be all right, I'm sure!

(It's not even the territorial lady! I had a full day where I could do anything a person could, people could understand me without the broken thing! I could have went! I could have tried! But what did I do? Walk around, distracting myself all day!)

(I might heal but what about the river? What about the forest? What about the Lady of the Woods? She sent me early but its been months!)

(If I'm doing great then why haven't I found the source yet? Let alone the cure? If I'm doing great then why am I here and not out there?! If I'm doing great then why do I keep bringing pain to everyone I care about! Be it my forest by not doing anything or these new friends distractions by trying to protect them!)

...

Squeak *cough*

(Back in the woods, two humans, an adult and a pup, saw my cauldron. The adult pointed at us and told the pup "bats are a bad omen, we should leave")

(Maybe they were right.)

Mr. Boss, why are you dumping your factory's waste into the river?

A baseless accusation.

Across the street from the Tabby's, there is a huge warehouse. Next to it's metallic door is a paper: "Welcome to Wandy's!" is written on it in scribbled handwriting.

The inside of the warehouse is quite empty, for such a gigantic building. In a corner, there are two screens, hiding something from view. In another, there is what looks like vegetable crops. A campfire and a vivarium full of bugs and lizards sits next to it. Away from that, there is a wooden desk, with two chairs sitting in front of them. Close to the entrance, there is a long table. Behind that table, there is a woman with wavy brown hair.

"Hi. Welcome to Wandy's, what would you like to order?"

With dying leaves and rocks sprinkled upon the floor to shape paths, fallen tree trunks and derooted stumps as well as a few slabs of stones serving at seatings for the customer, ivy growing up the walls, branches forming frame on the door and windows and dirt remplacing the concrete ground, which they did not do themselves and aren't sure how it happened, the place almost looks cozy!

(Also I love asks if you want to ask something please do!!)
