| The protagonist wants a branch to use as an anchor for her macrame project, so she goes to the woods to get it.

| Information, inspiration, and other notes | |
| I was reading Neil Gaiman's book Smoke and Mirrors on a plane, and his spooky short stories got me in the mood to write this one. It's not a fantasy story, but it has a weird fantasy vibe, and that's Mr. Gaiman's fault. | |
