🫣 BURRO: WORRYWICK

🏷️ Name: Worrywick

---

📝 Description:

Tucked into a foggy valley with creaky bridges and overgrown cobblestone streets, Worrywick is a place that tiptoes through life. Everything is double-checked, softly lit, and a little off-kilter—but comforting in its own strange way. The locals plan for every possibility, prepare for every outcome, and still worry it won’t be enough.

But underneath the layers of caution is deep care, and underneath the care is incredible strength.
