Plot feelings

♥ Feeling the spider webs stick across our face made us cringe with disgust.

♥ Tromping through the woods with no rain gear made us cold.

♥ We were sad when we accidentally knocked down a snag.

♥ The invasive species invaded our skin and it hurt.

♥ When one of our decay bags was kidnapped we couldn’t help the overwhelming sadness.

And then came the melt of the North Pole….
