The dog whined, looking up at him, sensing the shift in his mood. Where the old oak had always stood, a sturdy guardian, was now a rough stump, a fresh wound in the earth. He scowled.

He ran a hand across his forehead, pushing back a strand of hair that had fallen into his eyes. He didn’t want to be here, but he’d had to come, to see. He felt a familiar anger bubbling up.

He crouched down, running his hand over the sawed-off stump, the rough wood snagging his skin. He needed to go, to get away.
