Vigilance

[personaminor]

A husk of the warmth, a shaving from the heat of the day leaves the disposition of old, frozen sand and drops to the arena floor. It takes in the field with calculated, transitory reconnaissance, unfolds a map in the mind, ignores the input.
Apprehension invents its own wheel.

The hunters ingest the scene from the delimiter. The black, unceasing eyes widening in the light of abundance, its withdrawal into detritus.
