Snapping Turtle

A snapping turtle, armored in a shell of iridescent hues, trudges through the grass. Its ancient eyes, half-hidden in the folds of its thick, mud-streaked skin, seem to hold all the secrets of the swamp. Each step is slow, deliberate, as if it knows that time is on its side, and the world will wait for its passing.
