Gluttony
I looked at the list the witch gave me, not able to make sense of it.
"... you can't read it, can you?"
I held out the piece of paper to her and looked away, I don't have my glasses.
She sighed and took it from me, she left and after a while came back with a hatched and axe.
"In the western part of the forest I marked some trees, fell one and bring it it back."
I nodded and took the hatched and axe.
"Should I also do something else or...?"
"Just bring a tree for now."
"Alright."
...
Where was West again?
East is sunrise and west is sundown, but how late is it?
Eh, I'll just walk into the direction the shadows are pointing at. What could go wrong?
...
Everything went wrong.
I'm currently entangled by vine like branches with thorns digging into my flesh and she's getting closer. The landscape changed a lot in a short time, which is terrifying if you think about it but don't think if you want to preserve your sanity, but the house of nature wasn't too far from when everything started to become weird.
Worst part, I recognise her. A naga like appearance but with some key differences from Melanie. She has a rather hunched figure instead of Melanie's somewhat proper figure. She is generally less enjoyable to look at than Melanie, since nagas seduce men to lure them away, and she has scales on her upper body too.

She is a snake that evolved to have a humanoid appearance, a snake I had a incident with when I had a job in the house of nature.
About 30 years ago I was hired to check and fix the heaters in the reptile enclosures if necessary. Be it from a stroke of fate or the incompetence of a unqualified worker, a black Mamba escaped its temporary cage and decided that it wanted to kill somebody.
"Should I be impressed or pissed that you clung to life for so long just to bite me again?"
"hehehe..."
Alright, what the fuck. Why can she giggle? Why is she giggling?
"It's said the more humans a spider eats the more human it becomes, is the same true for you?"
"hehehe... three..."
Again, what the fuck! She understands human speech? Alright whatever, we're not speaking English anyways but something called common, don't think about it, so I'm willing to overlook that. But she knows the concept of terror? And she keept count too.
I look down on my left hand, two spots lighter than the rest of my skin.
"You waited 30 years for this moment, then you shall wait no longer."
I tear my limbs free and face her with a growl.
"Komm, ich will doch nicht ewig leben!"
