There Are Giants Among Us
There's nothing quite like a blizzard to change the voice of a forest. With every crack, creak, and deadly dry-cold timbre moan the easier it is to convince yourself that you are, indead, being hunted down by a giant with arthritic joints that sound like the loud shrill cry of rusty hinges. A giant as tall as the tallest tree, crashing through the forest where you wait and listen . . . is he getting closer?

ReplyDeleteA beautiful depiction Grace,of a cold winter walk in the woods. I will always think of being chased by giants whenever I'm our walking on those frosty wintery days.
ReplyDeleteA very sensory depiction of the wintry woods. I also live on the edge of a forest. There is a trail through a tight grouping of old dead wood we call "Spooky Woods" - for obvious reasons.
ReplyDeleteOf course the scariest thing that lives in the forest is much, much smaller . . . the tick! Yuck.
