The living story
The story so far
Her lid is thin as paper and her security system is the envy of the forest floor. Waferlid spins trip-lines of silk radiating in every direction, and nothing — nothing — touches them without her knowing its weight, speed, and intentions.
Happening now
A beetle just brushed one line, and she has already classified it: too big, too armored, not worth the door. She is back to monitoring. The perimeter is secure. The perimeter is always secure.
What may come
She will expand her trip-line network every season, a widening web of intelligence. One day her lines will reach the creek, and she and Ravine will have words about jurisdiction.
