PORTRAIT O’ A YOUNG BOUGH AS A YOUNG BOUGH

Bough[146] fell off Tree[42] in the autumn o’ 2014 during a particularly breezy night. Though it’d never had to endure life independent from its paternal tree, it withstood with bravery.

Most o’ its life for the next few months were spent lying in the dirt in a cave it was brushed into during ’nother storm.

It wasn’t till the late spring o’ 2015 when it was recruited by Sir Edgar Winters for military service. Though this gave it as much anxiety as anyone, at the same time it felt proud that it’d finally have a chance to give back to its community.

Alas, the war with the ink-monster ended ’fore Bough[146] had a chance to join the fray.
