where the wild things go

Everest

Not unlike the way the fox had paused, so too did Everest halt with one foot in the air. His ear flicked backward as if to try and gauge where the mental sound had come from, but of course it did not good. Do you know what's out there? He asked softly, slowly placing his foot down before hunkering down onto his belly and laying his nose flat between his paws.

I've never smelled anything like it before. I thought maybe a land shark because they live in this area, but...I don't smell anything aquatic about it. Did Landsharks even smell aquatic, given where and how they lived? Hmmm.

If I told you that you'd do nothing with it
I'd still be that cigarette that you couldn't finish
