Discovered in the Bleak Midwinter - 16th December

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

Bodie and Doyle stood outsite the building on an old military tower, when it started to snow. They were soaked and frustrated. And did I mentioned that there was snow? Lots of snow.




And the whole time they were watched.



Suddenly Bodie noticed a movement

"There Doyle! Did you see it?"



But Doyle didn't see it. "What do you mean, Bodie?" "I'll show you after we had a shower and changed", Bodie answered and they switched shift with Lucas and McCabe.

Thirty minutes later they met once more outside  and walked the short way to the forest.

"Look, Doyle. Can you see it now?" "Oh", said Doyle. "It is like the line in that poem from Walter de la Mare. The Robin with his burning breast."




And there it was, the Robin with the burning breast.
