Watch
By now the sun was starting to set, the sky now a bright, fiery orange color. You watched the *skulk as they ate and played together. Once again you caught a whiff of all the carcasses. It made your stomach clench. You were disgusted at the thought of eating an uncooked, dead woodland animal, but you couldn't remember the last time you had eaten anything. You whimpered and pondered what you should do.
You considered the fact that you couldn't keep going without eating anything at all, but you didn't want to eat a poor rabbit. As you question what to do, something above you shakes. Leaves shook from the movement and fell gently from the tree to the ground below as a fat squirrel jumped from branch to branch and climbed down the truck of another tree. It hopped around through the grass.
You followed its every move, not even noticing that the leaf that had fallen on your head. Your eyes were transfixed on the critter. You had unconsciously started shimmying over to it slowly. All previous guilty thoughts of eating the squirrel had vanished. The fox costume had done more than just turn you into a fox, it had made you think like a fox too.
