{ Straw Man || OPEN }
The straw man takes animals
Straw man takes children
Straw man stalks the fields
Run, run, run! Straw man is after you
Even out here I can't get away from the storybooks. Naegi sighed, looking up from his small bag of belongings. He didn't have much with him - just a book from the library, a bottle of water, his notebook and pen, and the storybook that had been tucked into the inside of his bag. He glanced out the window of the farm house, watching the sky as the fading sun painted the sky with brilliant oranges and reds and pinks.
It was still hard, doing things like pumpkin picking without his family, so he was a bit quieter than he already was, shoulders sagged and expression somber.
Maybe I should get outside for a bit...sitting here doing nothing isn't helping. He thought, pulling out his notebook, and pen from his bag and stuffing them in the pockets of his shorts. He glanced back at the others, wondering if he should invite them along...because something wasn't sitting right with him. It felt like something bad was going to happen if he went alone.
