She looks up through the leafy green canopy, sighing with contentment. Nibbling on a delicate shoot as she sits, she listens for any sound that doesn't belong in the cool shade of her sanctuary. She has everything she needs: fresh water, free food, and protection from the elements. There is a breeze today. Not the hot winds of yesterday, but moving air promising to cool the earth with rain. She turns her face toward her snack. A massive leather boot crashes down, too close for comfort. “Damn rabbit’s been in the beans again.” She hops away, hoping to remain unseen.
