[fiction] Quagmire

[digitaldiscipline]

We'd spent several more unpleasant than usual days slogging through territory that couldn't make up its mind if it was going to sink into the ocean, choke everything with greenery, or just try and kill us with moist heat, and ended up doing all three.  On the bright side, we weren't harried by Sentinels, or whatever the local constabulary was called, probably because nobody was foolish enough to try and live there.  We'd spent a vigorous afternoon debating if it was merely an oppressive marsh, an authentic swamp, or a full-fledged quagmire, and decided it was definitively swamplike with marshy tendencies, and had quagmire potential after a hard rain and the introduction of some motivated and hostile locals.

By the second day, everyone had mud in their boots, and the steady trudging squelch of our progress wasn't fit to inspire terror in a basket of rabbits.  Which, conveniently enough, made them easy to catch, skin and eat.  If you liked mud-flavored rabbit, it was heavenly.

I think Sven liked mud-flavored rabbit, and was only complaining to throw off suspicion.  Fucking ninjas

Okay, who wants to suggest the next word?  First suggestion today gets written tomorrow.
