Foxes (2016)
“Micky asks, watching from my nest as I pull my trousers on.
As soon as I nod, he jumps up and eagerly throws his clothes on.
It’s dark and cold in my shell, and I know it’s going to be darker and colder outside. I eat some more of the bread with something tomato-flavored from one of my label-less cans—we ate all the ham earlier. I don’t even taste it, really.
Micky doesn’t want anything, but I put a few slices of bread in a bag in my pocket, in case he gets hungry. Even if he doesn’t want to li...sten to his body, I know he’s hungry. His stomach was rumbling while he slept.
AS SOON as we reach the end of the dark dead-end road, Micky shouts my name and takes off down the side of the common.
He’s so alive tonight.
I jog after him, clutching my bad arm to my chest to try to stop my shoulder hurting with every step.
He runs with the wind, his golden hair streaming out behind him, but after a minute he turns and jogs back to me.
I love that he’s wearing most of my clothes—as in he’s wearing all my jumpers, one on top of the other, apart from the one I’m wearing.MoreLess
