things were so good for this Strigamia before i came and woke it up - a nice rock, wet dirt, and no one to gawk at its cherry color. i didn't get a photo of it all curled up because something about me alerted it to my presence immediately, and considering this is an animal with no eyes it probably means i smelled awful
