There were these
black spaces in the air that moved around by the trees. They slunk to and fro with wary
aspect, one upon the other. Though they were all but invisible it seemed they were forever moving. You couldn’t fix your eyes
on any one of them. As you tried to follow its progress you’d realize you were
now looking into plain darkness, only to have your line of sight broken by
movement in the opposite direction.
Such
distractions are enough to bring you down. We had no way of defending ourselves
and were fortunate that they never came too close. Our panic would have been
enough to bring matters to a head. Perhaps they found our dumb size off-putting.
The three of us stood together silently and somehow became a pack.
