For me it would be either:
The Mongolian Death Worm because, well because they are 5 foot dark red worms capable of spitting highly toxic corrosive acid or it electric shocks you... I'll pass
Or
The Fresno Nightcrawlers, yeah another worm. What can I say giant worms creepy me out! But then who wouldn't be if you look out your window at night and some worm is slowly striding across your yard... Yup hard no on this one too

You humans tire so easily.

That one had wandered for hours beneath the summer heat before finding my tree. I watched him stumble through the brush, mumbling to himself, brushing flies from his neck with slow, exhausted hands.

He looked up once.

Not at me, of course.

None of you ever do.

Then he settled against the roots with a grateful sigh and closed his eyes.

I waited.

Patience is important.

You don’t have a word for it.

I call it… ceremony. The crowning of our new queen.

The creature beside me doesn’t speak much. I appreciate that. There’s a stillness to it—ritualistic. Intentional. It understands the importance of patience.

We sip our coffee in silence.

I ask, eventually, “Do they come willingly?”

If you know, you know.

If you don’t… the March issue of Dark Descent is waiting

She doesn’t hunt. She waits.
And when she finally takes you—
she lets you go.

Field Notes are live.
Sit. Rest. Read… if you dare.
