[microfiction] How to Leave the Marshes
One entity entered the marshes that day. A boy, desperate, fleeing pursuers. Lost. He heard something slithering through the reeds, and felt a presence in his mind. A creature, desperate, losing its habitat to alien colonisation. A creature able to abandon its body entirely and reside in another's mind. A creature with knowledge of the marshes, where to hide, how to escape. A creature offering a symbiotic existence, a way out.
One entity entered the marshes that day, and one entity left.
