    Summary

    A series of short fic with a creature from the forest and a boy that it takes.

     
    a sun shines (in the dark forest):
    They had left him in the forest. Left him. In the forest. In the forest that was Me.
    o’er mountain (crows and crones lie together):
    “Was he,” the child asked, “was he a trick of the forest?”
    o forest childe (you have much to learn):
    I would not keep him from his own, so when he asked, I let him go. O Childe, yes, I let him go. [warning: bad poetry]
    a seed (will sprout or rot):
    "But what if I lose it," he had asked. "Then it is lost and you are lost and I am lost as well," I had said, o so long ago.
    in the dark (we smell your fear):
    He is leading one home. Why is he leading one home?
