Description
Nightmare time!
Well, I don’t know how much scary would you find this. I guess all depends on personal fears. For me… it was enough disturbing to put it in the nightmare category.
Sunrise. I was walking through some waste deserted place. Was it a desert? Could be. I saw multiple hills around.
At some point, I found myself between a few low hills surrounding lowland covered with morning fog. That place looked interesting. Sun was slowly rising revealing that place in the sunlight. I noticed that there were many and many large formless… boulders? Those things had the same color and pattern like all the small rocks around. I was walking in-between those ‘boulders’ until I noticed that they were getting alive as fast as the sun touched them.
What I took for boulders were, in reality, something close to sea slugs. Creatures were around 2 to 5 m long. They were sleeping turned in balls, but as fast as sun showed up, they unpacked themselves and started slowly moving uphill while opening and revealing some structure on their backs that looked like trees with red leaves. Those structures looked solid and strong, but very soon I learned that it was very light, soft and hollow inside…
Really soon I was surrounded by moving forest made by those creatures. All of it was just stunning. I was glad to be there…. And then I touched one of creature’s ‘tree’ branch with my shoulder…. It immediately wrapped itself around my arm and back like some octopus’s tentacles and pulled to the creature with a lot of force. Then I saw that at the ‘root’ of those ‘trees’ was hidden mouth with a large sharp beak. I panicked and started trying to get out.
All of those branches.., tentacles were weak, but there were just too much of them and there was no way not to touch more while getting rid of the ones that already were on me. The worst part that the creature continued to move toward the hill completely ignoring me and other creatures were all around piling together choosing an easy path for themselves. I was dangerously close to the moment when there would be no way out.
I finally released myself and almost crawled out from their way. Miraculously avoiding more contact. Creatures continued their way until they were on the hill. Now it looked like a nice small forest of red leaves. I guessed, they were hunting for birds and other flying creatures that would be trapped as fast as they land on those fake trees.

On the up side, the good thing about walking trees is they usually know when its time to leaf

I love the "fisheye" view you gave this pic. It lends to the feeling of foreboding giving a surreal menacing sensation. The shadows the trees cast seems to leave out the softening that leaves would give, giving a skeletal look, adding to the feeling that the foliage is not what it seems

Slugs, huh? XD The other day I had to take a slug out of my flat (Oh, don't ask how it ended up inside the flat...) I made a mistake by taking it with my bare hand... Took 10 min to wash slime away from fingers... Stupid slug...

Ew! Slugs are evil Once you touch them you can't get the sticky off you. Horrible things!
One night when I was working security I saw that somebody had dropped a packet of chips on the floor. Later that night I saw the chips were covered in slugs, all sucking the fat out of them. Bleughk.

Yuck. It's so horrible when they crawl into the house! I don't see the point of them .
I saw a nature documentary about a kind of big slug that climbs to the top of a tree to mate, and then they tangle up together and slide to the ground on a rope of slime like Spiderman . Imagine if they landed on your head

Interesting. I tend to think of modern "Americans" as the descendants of land-stealers And that it is a shame that countries were forcefully taken from the peoples who originally lived there.
And that one day the whole world will be owned by the Disney corporation !

I was just reading that comment about if the trees would be, perhaps, parasitic or symbiotic.. Doesn't make it all better XD
Anyways; I really like the diversity in your style and work!

I agree that it was not the smartest to post the reply right before sleeping time.. However; imagining those slugs with rainbow colored leaves, a bowler hat + moustache and two short little forearms that hold a cup of tea might make 'em a bit less scarier.
Or more scarier, I'm not quite sure XD
