Wet feet.
I could feel a damp patch under my feet. In the darkness of the woods, I could feel the mist all around us. But it wasn't coming from the sky. It was coming from me. This damp patch didn't have much of an odor to it, but it wasn't an animal's breath. This was me. Wet and miserable. And I knew something was crawling up my body from my feet. I stopped. We all stopped. I looked around. I didn't have to turn on the flashlight to see we were in a swampy place. The ground was covered with tall thick bushes and thick low-growing bushes. The undergrowth was thick and filled with tall grass. It didn't have a lot of light. It looked like something out of the Twilight Zone. But it had plenty of hiding places. I looked at the others. Everyone had stopped. They looked scared. As I looked at them, my mouth went dry. My heart began to beat faster. My breathing grew shallower. I couldn't figure out how to move, but I knew I had to. We had to go back. This was a swamp, not a nice neighborhood. My eyes glanced off of our faces. I knew there was no one watching us. The smell of the swamp was getting stronger. My body started to tremble. I moved forward. "Come on," I said. "Let's keep moving." I turned to the right, following a faint trail. As I followed the trail, I tried to stop my shaking and my heart from beating too fast. I took a deep breath. And then I took a step. I took another step. My legs were moving me forward. I took a few more steps. I looked back over my shoulder. I took a few more steps. "This is not good." --- All Hail the Ticket Oak. All Hail the Ticket Oak. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I have crunchy knees. Ever since I passed 40 years old.

what crawled up your body thois something I never thought I'd find a way to love but if you know me, you know I've grown accustomed to falling off my feet but I'm beginning to think maybe the thrill is in the ride because when I was feeling down and didn't want to give this another shot, it seemed like you were there to tell me what to do and when I thought about what I wanted to do and realized that I just might I realized I was just a little girl looking for the key that's always been in my pocket I don't remember when I found it but I could've kept searching but I knew what I wanted and I knew you would be here saying the same thing and when I saw you, I was gonna hold your hand and make a wish and it seems like it's not enough --- All Hail the Ticket Oak.
