Sequoia Coast cantaloupe

against her side, the dreamer felt beneath his paw the child bulging the strained sides of the small woman. he too must believe that the land would provide, but would seal crawl from the waters to be eaten? would whale cut itself into strips?

no, he must do it. he must take what the land gave and bring it here, to dancing fox. and if he could not do that, this was the only other way she might live.

Wolf stirred as his thoughts aligned with that of the woman though this was unknown to them both.

she is afraid, but the dreamer felt this rather than saw it upon her.

there was a long silence, and then,

"the child is strong." was she so strong? was he?

Wolf grinned. 

tell her the dream.

not yet.
