She sits awake in the glow of the fading fire, listening. Morning is coming
and the sounds of the forest are changing from the quiet snuffling of
nocturnal creatures, to the more raucous noises of the day.
Behind her, their camp, laid out in a pattern so familiar she could navigate it
blindfold, is still calm. The men will sleep on for another half hour yet.
She tells herself she can hear as each one is released from the arms of
Morpheus, from the changes in their breathing.
In her ever changing universe, these familiar people and things provide
comfort.
