The Saintess trudged up the long steps of the #temple. She raised her eyes skyward, wondering why her Lord had forsaken her. Everything was going wrong. (3/3) #wss366

She came around a corner and saw two men embracing in the shadows. Her mouth dropped open with surprise. Then they kissed. She was about to shout to chastise them for the unseemly public display of affection. But then they separated and she realized it was the Hero and the Demon Lord! (2/3) #wss366

The Saintess walked briskly back to the #temple. She raised her eyes skyward to give thanks to the Lord. Her plans were moving forward apace. Soon the Hero and Demon Lord would be at each other's throats. And after… She smiled as she imagined the Hero running his hands over her body. (1/3) #wss366

After dark, Forrest returned to the sign and spent a few minutes rearranging the bottles.
In the morning, when people arrived, the sign now said, "DON'T LITTER OR ELSE". (4/4) #wss366

Near the entrance, in the late afternoon, Brunhilde laid them out on a slope to spell out "PLEASE DON'T LITTER."
"There," she said. "Now everyone will see that first thing tomorrow and it will remind them to pick up after themselves."
"Hmm," said Forrest, unconvinced. (3/4) #wss366

"What things?" asked the bear.
"These!" Forrest screamed, holding up a nip bottle.
"#Rum?"
"And schnaps. And vodka. And gin. They're everywhere!"
"Maybe we can use them!" Brunhilde said.
Brunhilde and the bear helped Forrest track down all the bottles they could find. (2/4) #wss366

The bear heard Forrest screeching with rage. This was not particularly unusual, but he ambled over to see what the issue was.
"If I catch the pukkin' pucker that keeps throwing these things everywhere…" he shrieked. "I'll perforate 'em'! I'll tear their eyes out!" (1/4) #wss366
