Tamer Chapter 3 Scene 7 (Patreon)

I trudged through the weedy undergrowth around the web and got back to the creek once I was clear. The spider still hadn’t moved, and it looked even bigger seeing it from its underside.

I slipped and fell again moments after turning back upstream, but I got to my feet as fast as I could. The water called to me as fervently as had Lacey’s bikini top, but I fought to keep my eyes from drinking from that dangerous well.

Sometime later I reached a small, mostly flat clearing of tall ferns next to the creek. It looked like an excellent place to collapse and rest, but the second I stepped into the greenery an explosion of blue feathers surrounded me.
