@ohsunshine asked :❝ throws stick you seem to be in a sticky situation. ❞ / from ellie for joel
❝ ain't helpin', ellie. ❞
of course, joel's DESIRE to tag along on ellie's patrol had to blow up in his face. it was supposed to be an easy route - something where ellie can learn the ropes & joel could breathe a little easier. but jackson had been hit with so much rain these past weeks. it was inevitable one of the paths was going to give out.
& of course, it was the little wooden bridge that couldn't HANDLE joel's weight.
joel stands, swatting mud of his jeans with a sigh. ❝ save your puns for that dina girl, yeah ? ❞
Inside me, something seethes. Inside me, some feral animal claws at my ribcage, trapped.
