Something Foxy in the Dunes

“She wanted to see ‘them’, on the other side of the dunes. She silently, delicately stooped forward, then lay on her belly so that she’d not be seen, but so that she could secretly observe. Her little footprints would betray that she’d been there watching, but alongside her lay the footprints of a stealthy fox, now almost obscured by wind-blown sand, as hers would be too.”
