This morning, while pounding acorns into the granary, Red caught a glimpse of the strangest being. She seemed to be a woodpecker, like him, and also a human, at the same time.

And then he went back to his essential pecking and pounding, to widen the holes for more essential acorns. Created with Midjourney and Magnific. 6000 x 6000 pixels
