One spring evening two travelers ... publishing a short story already shared with friends IrideLapsus , it is because I fell over the eye and replace the old notes, more or less because it is an anniversary because I miss my fox, because more or less I'm glad to see you on the pages of this sort of blog.
am a beast from the red-haired, fawn, cunning and suspicious nature for a reason for those weird hairless animals. Tall, long, awkward. My kingdom is done at night delicate, aromatic precise, sometimes sweet, others spicy or unpleasant or awkward. My roads are laid out and lit the dance of the fireflies.
I am fox, free and single.
that night, which just preceded the explosion of spring, absently chewing a leaf of a lily to wipe my mouth just eaten dinner by the damage of what they call the long hen trotting at constant speed, protected by darkness, along the edge of a deserted road. I knew that not far away there was a hole where these men came together in packs, and that, at that time of night, were now all gone. After its passage there would be a veritable buffet of delicacies: the ideal conclusion to this beautiful clear moonlit night. Chocolate and fruit pieces. Maybe biscuits, with a little 'luck, some long, he forgot one of those containers that they call beer.
approached, however, first softly, then louder and louder, I heard the unmistakable sound of two senior who communicate with the strange language modulated made of pop language and scratch throat.
In the air there was a strange smell that never before had heard that night, spicy and hot, like the aroma of cut grass from the farmer when it burns.
that will As I approached the head began to turn around, I began to hear footsteps on the grass verge gradually lighter, or the curiosity that I have always condemned, the fact is that I advanced towards that buzz human and to the particular strange smell.
Carefully leaned over the top of the snout-nosed black topped over the tall grass. Between me and the lair of the high was only a strip of black earth and edge of the ledge which still hid my body red.
what I perceived was strange, too strange to devote myself to the mere quietly searching for my last night snack.
front of me was a boy and a girl sitting opposite each other talking, all the time. Never stack the sounds they produced a constant and hypnotic melody.
Now and then fell silent and passed a tube-shaped object that was smoking, which was clearly the source of the smell that had made me read paws. We supported the mouth, I cut it and had fun to make great clouds of white smoke. Then if the review and began again to speak, from time to time with new records. I was fascinated. I felt that these creatures, unlike the rest of their species to vibrate in harmony with the world. That the continuous sound was sweet, full, constant. So much so that I did not realize that by now I was out in the open and the nose up, no more than four jumps from them.
The male was standing in front of me, the female, in silence, looking at me. He had brown eyes and big, deep eyes that I saw my sisters, my brothers.
The man whispered something to me, I looked too. There was no fear and no tension, just a sweet amazement.
I went a little '. He did not move but I saw that I looked at the body by reading the pace, knowing I was doing the same.
I got a jump on him. Due to her. I wanted to impress their smell inside, that memory is primordially incacellabile that the most precious of my race.
then reached out a hand towards me, slowly. I directed my ears, digrignai the nose, tail relaxed, in what is a greeting between us foxes and disappear into the darkness.
not abandoned them, however, because he still longed for answers, or confirmation, because, I admit, I liked those long, I liked their song. Their scent.
I followed them. Stayed there for a long time extending that chorus ritual. Every now and then touched or stroked. He tenderly licked. Then, together, they headed to a small red car, the set off and went away. In a moment of terror I thought that I would be lost forever and panic began to run after him through the forest without losing sight of the black path that wound beneath the noisy, smelly box that contained my humans.
I thought several times that I would be lost until, to my surprise, they stopped beside an old and a great man abandoned lair. They climbed on the roof and wrapped in a thick cloth to keep warm and close, this time they remained silent, waiting for dawn.
When the sun had risen completely made love, and I remember thinking I'd like to lick their pups.
asleep when I approached and sniffed them both closely, the nose on your bare skin. Such a name to both, and for our people is tantamount to a promise, a vow of protection. Vegliai on them until they awoke, then went back into the woods, on trails, embroidered with lilies and frost.
still keep my promise with respect to these two strange and wonderful examples of long distance, with eyes clear of the moon, following what their spicy scent.
fox and I'm free. But no longer so alone.
