Life will find a way
One cocoon twitches; my screaming must have disturbed it. It’s followed by a sound like the shaking of a cobra’s tail. A dry rattle sends a shiver down my spine. The rest of the cocoons respond the same way, as if communicating with one another; the cave fills with rattling. The glow becomes stronger as they vibrate and bathes the cave floor in an eerie blue light.

The World She Longs For
It’s early Sunday afternoon. We have just had such a tranquil walk on the beach, with the dogs. We arrive home. I unlock the door while he closes the gate, so the dogs can’t get out. As I unlock the door, I still hear the waves crashing. Home is just a stones throw away from the beach.
