Green One-Eyed Monster

👁️ The story of the one eyed swamp watcher

This one came up out of the green murk with a single eye already wide open, so it never quite learned how to blink. The iris glows a poison green, laced through with fine red veins, the look of something that has stayed awake far too long and seen a little too much.

Below the eye sits a small round mouth, caught mid gasp, a few blunt white teeth showing against a flash of pink. It hovers somewhere between startled and delighted, as if you just walked in on a secret.

Its skin is bumpy and mossy, the kind of texture you expect on a stone at the bottom of a pond. Keep it in a pocket and it will keep one eye on the world for you. The iris colour can be chosen if you want a calmer or a brighter stare.
