As usual, this is just raw guesswork based on the synopsis and there’s about a seven per cent chance I might be wrong. Read the book itself just to make sure.

Also I’m a bit drained from doing the Vitiators De-con-struc, so I’m gonna try and make this ‘Other Books’ series a bit shorter e.g. last one I did [Green Fuse Burning] was around 4000 words while the first [Figures Crossing The Field Towards The Group] was about 400.

But I always think this way…then I start typing…and ten pages later there are four alternative endings, with the swamp masquerading as a third vicious infinite!

I’m doing it right now.

This intro in and of itself is already over a hundred words and I haven’t really said anything about the book yet.

Or is it WITCH WAR?

The SLIME, I suspect, is either coming from or in league with the SKULL, while the TENTACLE must-

TENTACLE WITCH?

The WITCH could have tentacles which would make them a TENTACLED WITCH, which could in turn be shortened to TENTACLE WITCH cos no one notices the ED sound anyway.

So the SKULL SLIME [SLIME coming out from the SKULL, possibly sentient] is up against the TENTACLE WITCH [I’m using singular but I assume there are many of them] and their resentment is drawn out long enough for it to be referred to as a WAR.

Unless all four nouns preceding WAR are individual groups adversarial towards each other?

WITCH vs TENTACLE vs SLIME vs SKULL.
