【生肉搬运】Shrike伯劳鸟 第二章(29)
“Lion and tiger in the same enclosure?” George said as the trees began to close in around them, like they were fireflies caught between the fingers of a young child.
“I guess. But I’ve also never really felt the need to get into the enclosure in the first place, you know?”
George remembered the soothing call of the earth, telling him to curl up and sleep the decade away. He remembered soft fur warm beneath his fingers. Uneaten berries in his pockets.
“Yeah,” George whispered. “I know.”
This was how the ending began: with the sound of splintering under a heavy foot. Tragedy heralded not by applause and triumphant trumpets, but by the gentle snapping of a fallen twig.
George met Sapnap’s eyes.
They were not alone in this forest.
Instinctively, Sapnap reached for his sword. Instinctively, George stepped closer to him.
This forest did not know him. It was full of dead and dying things, and they answered to a higher power, or perhaps to no power at all. They would not tell him their secrets or come to his rescue, and that made George horribly, pitifully useless.
