TheLemming'sLast Tale

Thesnow moves behind me. It twitches like thethick tail of the one the Inuit callTiriganiaq - my kind's most feared hunter. He is the sly shape-shifter whosits in wait, greyagainst the seashore stone, brown against the hard earth ofthe summer tundra, waiting like a rooted bush as we gather our food. In winter,he becomes as white as... snow.

[...]

Isee his sharp teeth in my mind's eye, appearing from nowhere, snatching at mydeath as I leap for a hole in the hard-packed snow. The frozen wind's chidingis lost on him; it cannot penetrate his thick pelt. His fur-lined feet movefaster, yet are ever silent. I leap below the snow. Here is my burrow. I willbe safe - for surely he cannot find me here, canhe?
