To think I'd be targeted by a monster like this!

"Hmm... that really was an interesting memory."

"Gulp, gulp..."

An exquisite label hung from the crystal-clear bottle as a bottle of premium orange juice was poured down like rum.

A figure sat atop a massive tree trunk, digesting the memories in his mind.
