I've had something like that happen to me a few times. There are some marshy patches in our woods (sadly, mostly shallow.) We have a LOT of trees, and a lot of wind, and the leaves in the woods sometimes get piled into drifts- or fill in holes. I've been walking along through the woods, and all of a sudden the carpet of leaves doesn't have solid ground under it.

That "surprise moment" is almost better than sex.
And there is nothing wrong with a good "stuck-and-struggling" scene. Especially if the mud is deep enough that the more the Lady struggles, the deeper she sinks.

Most of the time I'm into the whole "rescue the damsel in distress" thing. But if the Lady were into being trapped and helpless, I could respond to "I'm Stuck!" with "Yes, I believe you are."

That actually reminds me of a place I found locally some years back, which was a small picturesque stretch of water, and the shore looked solid enough but was very wet and covered with leaves. Because of all the branches obscuring the view, I wanted to take a photo a bit further out and luckily there was a small board of wood which I could place just out from the shore, and hop onto with my camera. I was just lining up a nice shot when I noticed the board was sinking, and rather quickly! It wasn't even that much into the water but I didn't stay to find out as the 'water' starting washing over my shoes. So that's my 'quickleaves' experience! Don't underestimate them!
