indra blinked, her eyes adjusting to the azul expanse of sky above. for a moment the red child kept prone, as if stunned -- but the moment was fleeting and with a mighty effort she heaved her broad legs over and scrambled to her feet. with a rolling shake the child was off in a clunky, excited trot.
that was until she saw a wolf ahead - a wolf that was not spring. or laika. or even shreya. she stopped and looked behind her -- where was an adult? was this a reek wolf? were all wolves outside of the creek bad?
timidly she set back, about to run in her preconceived direction of home -- until her paw landed with a loud snap on a stick. horrified and wide-eyed the child froze, shrinking from the stranger as she realized the error she had made.
she unglued; all thoughts left her save for fear and she ran as quick as her legs could take her away from the stranger.

now the wren has gone to roost and the sky is turning gold,
and like the sky, my soul is also turning.
and like the sky, my soul is also turning.
