In the snow, the fox trots towards the den where his love waits. He quickens his pace.
A hunter aims his rifle at the oblivious fox; recalling his wife’s pleas for him to stop. Laughing, he pulls the trigger. It clicks; empty chamber.
Ah, hell, you stole my bullets, Amber!

Saw the drawing by megaeggz yesterday and loved it; was curious to see what you would create to accompany it. You didn’t fail to deliver.

I remember once there was a fox next to my old cat and we were worrying that it was going to eat it, but no, they just sat together for awhile. Good beasts. Anyway, glad you enjoyed 😀
