algid afternoon sun drifts in and out of cloud coverage; as if it were a cub playing hide’n’seek. permafrost hollows prove to be flush with deer; abounding in their rutseason.
looming rockpeak and glint of glacier are not croc’s first choice of prime territory; trees, tunnels and shrubbery offers both sanctuary and the promise of feasts to those aweary and famished —
such as he.
burned leg aches with impenitent stiffness; refusing to ebb from taxing journey from the wold. thirst is sated in the small stream of cool meltwater; tonic untainted. chin wet with droplets, he tracks freshest scents; tempted by the musk of prey at limping gait. content to take stock of herds seeking asylum in hallowed lands.
for now; with little choice besides.
