Frogs croak in the reeds that surround the bog. The water is very murky and underneath the surface tadpoles dart around. There are minimal places to stand to stay dry.

I lurk beyond the city walls and wait for any hapless traveler to wander by. My fangs are sharp and my claws are always ready. I lie ready to taste human blood again.
Waiting for a snack to walk by. And by snack I mean human I'm starving tonight.  That is fine with me, I am not a very tasty morsel with my hard shell. Yeah I can see that, i'm just gonna take a quick bite  My dinner!!!! I spent all night getting that tasty worm. Sorry, I thought you had more. It's just a worm besides I haven't ate in 3 days. Maybe if you help me find dinner I'll get you more worms than you can eat.  Well, since you are not eating me, I will tell you the tastiest morsels are by the tree. By the tree hmm.. how many come around at night Turtle? Human lovers come to sit by the tree. They are oblivious to such as us. I think you might be on to something Turtle. How many worms are you looking for? Four can be a dinner for me.  I'm going to tell you a secret then, If you go down by the water where the soil is softer you will find more there. Big ones too. Thank you. I love this place. It has been my home since birth.
