Through The Grass and Down the Hill

You decide you can manage to continue downhill in a straight line to the forest. The grass continues to get taller around you as you walk, to the point it is now higher than you can reach with your paw stretched up. You find you can jump higher than you thought you could, but soon you are unable to jump up high enough to see above the dense grass. You try to go back, but soon realize the grass recovered so quickly from your passing that it has hidden your trail completely. Continuing downhill, the grass starts to become thicker and has more resistance to your passing through it. Suddenly, the grass seems to part. Your foot slips on something slick and you fall down face first onto the ground. The ground feels very gooey and there is no grass near you. You're sinking fast. Pulling up your one arm draws you in deeper: the goo clings to your fur. Remembering that you should not try to stand in quicksand, you attempt to swim across to reach the grass on the other side. It's like swimming through natural peanut butter. After a long time you finally make it to the other edge of the grass and fight to pull yourself out into the grass, panting from exertion. You are completely coated from head to the end of your tail, and the grass clings to the goo.
