The Shadows

The shadows began to fade into the west Texas night. Two rabbits sat quietly overlooking a glowing red canyon. The evening was peaceful and the day was good. As the sky engulfed with silent flames the two sat thinking about their journey. Then suddenly a violent whoosh of wind, dirt, and net took them up and then blackness… The pair had just arrived from their mother land after a very long journey and they were looking forward to stability in this foreign land. The female was pregnant and due very soon. This sudden trouble was not part of their plans.
