Roots trip Marie. Massive tree trunks block her way, and the bark grazes her. Twigs scratch her. The mud sucks at her feet or sends her slipping and sliding into stems that slap her. Thin, barbed tendrils are tangled and entwined like fishing nets across her path. She believes the jungle wants to hold them until they decompose into nutrients in the soil the trees can feed off.
