A monstery Valentine's Day

Corey the owlbear crunched and slammed his way through the deep dark silent forest. As he crashed into a moondrenched clearing he came to a stop. Hidden there from public view was a glistening pond with one silent resident. When he saw Alex everything stopped for him. Her speckled tentacles floated through the dark pool and she looked up at him with a look he'd never forget and Corey began to sing.

Maxine felt at home with the snakes. She let them roll and hang all over her and it was good. Soon Maxine left the world of people behind her and only spent time amidst the serpents. It wasn't long until she literally became one with them and they grew together as one slithering creature.
Maxine smiles all the time now.
