The late afternoon sun stretches shadows across the path as you, fighting to stay awake through sheer will, notices a massive, pale mint-green caterpillar resting ahead. It stirs, gliding forward with a smooth, sinuous grace. Countless tiny arms reach out, softly tracing your shape before it starts spinning a dense, silken cocoon. With meticulous care, it wraps you up and draws you into its soft, rubbery folds, your head left free to the world. It intends to carry your sleeping form through the hushed neighborhood, cradled within its gentle embrace.
