A common fox, between 4 and 6 years of age

The moth makes Evie laugh. It lands on her bare forearm and she brushes her index finger lightly across the brown and gray waves that color its wings. Hello, gorgeous, she tells the moth. It lifts away. Upward, upward, and upward the moth goes, and is swallowed by a slice of the sun tangled amid the glossy green leaves twenty feet above Evies place among the roots on the ground.

A coppery red rope leaks from a black socket at the center of the trunk and twists between plates of bark. Evie doesnt trust the snake, obviously. Shes had trouble with him before.

Her moth and ten thousand others surge from the treetop in a crackling, dun-colored cloud. The swarm rolls across the sky in the direction of the sickly second-growth pines on the other side of the meadow. She rises to follow. Stalks crunch under her steps and the waist-high grass scrapes her bare skin. As she approaches the sad, mostly logged-over wood, she detects the first chemical smellsammonia, benzene, petroleum, so many others, ten thousand nicks on a single patch of fleshand relinquishes the hope she had not realized she harbored.

Webs spill from her footprints and sparkle in the morning light.

Ree asked Jeanette if she ever watched the square of light from the window. Jeanette said she didnt. Ree was in the top bunk, Jeanette in the bottom. They were both waiting for the cells to unlock for breakfast. It was another morning.

It seemed that Jeanettes cellmate had made a study of the square. Ree explained that the square started on the wall opposite the window, slid down, down, down, then slopped over the surface of their desk, and finally made it out onto the floor. As Jeanette could now see, it was right there in the middle of the floor, bright as anything.

Ree, Jeanette said. I just cant be bothered with a square of light.

I say you cant not be bothered by a square of light! Ree made the honking noise that was how she expressed amusement.

Jeanette said, Okay. Whatever the fuck that means, and her cellmate just honked some more.
