The Hedgehog.











In the darkness, I approach a movement in the shadows.

There he was, the hedgehog, stuck in the large bottle.

I helped him out, he stayed still on the cold pavement, ignoring me.

I carefully inspected the hedgehog from a distance, he stayed still on the cold pavement.

I start to wonder, maybe he was searching for water inside of that bottle, I walk to the place where the garden hose is, when I look to see the hedgehog slowly walking away from me.

I poor some water on a small plate, but he doesn't react, doesn't drink, he stayed still on the cold pavement, ignoring me.

I understand why he acts how he did, if I was a cat, I couldn't hurt him anyway.

His spiky shield protected him, and gave him the ability to stand his ground.

I leave the movement in the shadows.

There he was, the hedgehog, unstuck on the pavements.
