The sun had set long ago and Rex shifted and fluttered in his cage. He was hungry. His girl and her boy hadn’t come back.

 

            Rex waited until the sun had set and risen again, cheeping with hunger. Eventually a human came, a man who looked old and tired. He had blue eyes like Rex’s girl, so must have been from the same flock, but the markings around his eyes were reddish, weaker than Rex’s girl’s black ones.  Shusshhh, Recks, he murmured. Shushh.

 

He fed Rex so Rex was not hungry, but Rex’s girl and her boy never came back.
