Sunlight glistened on its surface where it was broken by many stones, nearly buried in the water. Beeg A loud triumphant howl, erupting from many muzzles. I stepped aside, evaded him by a few inches. He was still pushing, entered me slowly. Not long and I would open my eyes, join the others in the water. He was early again. I was lying on my back, somewhere close by I could hear the others. His face was close to mine. He never told me anything. Wet as he was, he just lay down, pulled me with him. I tried to stop him but holding him with my legs didn’t work. And the next day, yesterday, we had left.
