Open starter for Alice Munro
“Oh, hello! Won’t you join me for some tea?”
Alice shivered as she stumbled behind the others through the brush. It was the middle of summer but it didn’t quite matter how hot it was, nothing could warm her from the cold thoughts running circles in her mind. The images of the attack, the betrayal of their guide, seeing men die. She shook her head trying to clear all thoughts, a girl such as herself had never known what it was to be frightened, maybe that of a long ago nightmare that her father would soothe with his husky voice, but today she had feared for her life and that of her sister and the men that accompanied them. Some had died, and had it not been for these strangers Alice was sure she was have perished as well. She grabbed at her skirts and picked them up some, trying to avoid tattering them anymore than they already were from the briers and muck of the forest. Her clouded eyes lifted to gaze upon the men at the front of their group, the new guides leading them to safety.
