Loved the suspense and discoveries in Chapter 6, Heidi! Bogs do indeed hold many secrets. I liked the haiku as well. Looking forward to Chapter 7.

Thank you, Neil! Bogs are fascinating on so many levels, literal and figurative. The power of wetlands.:)

A bog body!! Oh no! What is going to happen next? Thank goodness the critters are being well fed and given plenty of tea. They’re going to need the energy!

Thank you, Trudi! The tea indeed! If only they had known they might need to take the plunge back into the bog, Chris would have brought a thermos.:)

It would be really well-preserved, if it was a bog cat body. The furs would prolly give it away as a British Shorthair for sure!
