FIRST ALARM
“...from quiet stone the sound arise
to warn their love of prying eyes...”
Gynrih Gohsunni Gusya XX
3:3:3:2/12, 8:2:2 IX
Sharla never barked. The noise startled the little boy, who’d only heard the sweet old dog whine for scraps in all his four years of life. “Mama?” Waddling toward her with his basket full of tubers, he took comfort at her side, though her lovely face had paled beneath her swath of dark curls. She rose with her own basket, lips drawn in a grim line, and guided him toward their little farmhouse.
“I think we should hide, Darek.” Her deadly tone told him it was not a game this time. “You remember the rules?”
“No peeking and keep quiet,” he recited, his dark eyes shining with frightened tears as his mother pried up their special floor board and helped lower him down into the dark. “Can you hide with me?”
She flashed him a smile and her hand darted down to smooth his rowdy brown locks. “Not this time, my love. You promise me, now.”
Darek crossed his heart with shaky fingers, his eyes wide in the sliver of light from the lifted board. “No peeking and keep quiet.”
“I love you, darling.” Her fingers pressed against her lips and she transferred the kiss to the top of his head. Then she set the board back in place and stomped down the loose nails, clearing her throat and dumping their baskets into the wooden box by the door. Hooking each arm through a basket handle, she rose and minced outside, her voice fading as she bustled from the house. “Sharla! Quit that racket this instant! Begging your pardon, good sirs, she’s normally quite the friendly one...”
