The Smell of a Burnt Leaf

[html]

Hello, hope you don't mindSmile

Ever wandered along the water's edge, letting the cool liquid seep into the pads of her paws. She sighed, her breath lingering in the frigid June air. Her stomach twisted with anxiety as she walked farther and farther away from her territory, the noises of the forests bringing dark thoughts. Suddenly, the smell of smoke clotted the air. The sweet smell of burning pine. Ever's gait quickened until she was racing through the darkening forest towards the scent. She had no doubt that it wasn't a forest fire with trees so waterlogged.



The scent grew stronger and potent until the female was forced to slow her speed. Her eye's watered while she ambled ahead blindly. Strong and wild, the scent suddenly exploded into a gray smog that smothered the sky and sauntered between the trees. Now, invisible in the colorless smoke, Ever traveled unseeing, her steps hesitant.


The female came upon a small clearing where a wolf, standing in their odd two legged way, sat roasting a rodent that brought water flowing through Ever's mouth. A smile danced on her lips as she stepped away from the trail of smoke; in full view. "Hello," She announced quietly, her body quivering from the new heat.
