The ducks were a quack with one question.
Geese honked. The songbirds tweeted. Foxes slunk from their dens, badgers wandered in the empty woods, moles popped up and rabbits, well rabbits, just carried on doing what rabbits do. But the same question echoed round all creatures, “Where did the human’s go?”
The answer stalked from the past, from the depths of the forest.
“Love locks them up,” growls the lone Wolf. “Love for their old and vulnerable. Weakness!”
But the others disagreed, they squawked and squeaked that to keep the all-mighty humans locked down Love must be most powerful indeed.
