Irresponsibly posting my location on social media
A brown sign with an arrow indicates "Tank museum 1 and 1/2 miles. Monkey World 1 mile." Above the sign is written, "Cant help but feel we're playing with fire here."

Much respect to @nadaorlic.bsky.social, who does all the covers for Thinklings Books, and always captures the spirit of the book.
