#fairy ring
*places an orange just outside a fairy ring to see what comes out* science is more of an art than a science
*the orange grows legs and skitters away*
Fascinating results *places a banana in the same spot*
*clawed hand reaches out of the ether and drags it into the ring, leaving ragged claw marks in the soil as it disappears, back into the ether from whence it came*
“let’s go to the extreme.” *places a pineapple in the same spot*
Real scientists would keep putting an orange in the same spot to make sure the results are consistent before moving on to other fruits or different spots.
THE MOON: XVIII
[ID: A digital painting of The Moon tarot card. In a clearing of birch trees, a woman stands in a fairy ring of small white mushrooms, and the ground is littered with fallen leaves. Her long hair partially obscures her face, but one glowing white eye is visible. The moon in the sky sits behind her head as a halo, and an owl swoops overhead. Sprigs of forget-me-nots are placed in the lower left and upper right corner of the card.]

A fairy ring, also known as fairy circle, elf circle, elf ring[1] or pixie ring, is a naturally occurring ring or arc of mushrooms.[2] They are found mainly in forested areas, but also appear in grasslands[3] or rangelands. Fairy rings are detectable by sporocarps (fungal spore pods) in rings or arcs, as well as by a necrotic zone (dead grass), or a ring of dark green grass. Fungus mycelium is present in the ring or arc underneath. The rings may grow to over 10 metres (33 ft) in diameter, and they become stable over time as the fungus grows and seeks food underground.
Fairy rings are the subject of much folklore and myth worldwide—particularly in Western Europe. They are often seen as hazardous or dangerous places, and linked with witches or the Devil in folklore. Conversely, they can sometimes be linked with good fortune.

Inktober day one, “ring.” I’m not going to be doing it every day or always using the prompts, but here’s one by the book to kick things off.
