Teeth cut down into flesh, pierce into muscle, scrape against bone. Scratches rake down skin to sting harsh. Blood drops and pools and eventually there is only one left to stand.

A mouth takes hold of the fallen. Drags and drags until the fog is thick. Stops at a single white tree.

"Naughty," the pale tree whispers. A deep rumble of breath, a sinister laugh.

The dying hisses and then is shoved into the gaping black hole in the tree's base. Screams rip upward.

"Such a good hound," the pale tree cooes.

The hellhound wags its tail.

Whispers -- murmurs of hope and longing and want -- trickle like static.

The crane drops a single white petal. Beady eyes watch it fall. Purity. Perfection. Its feathers ruffle and it flies.

A mouse offers a petal of jade. Joy. Health. Luck. The twitch of whiskers and it bounds off.

Twin songbirds add pink and purple blossoms. Youth. Innocence. Wishes.

A snake comes -- slithers through the flower buds until they are ruffled -- and goes. A stain of blood threads through dirt and silk.

The bones of a foal no longer warm fall into the collection.

Words chant -- torture and love flare -- insistent.

"Come, my little one. My sweet magnolia blossom."

Petals scatter from the tiny bundle. Scant trails of lifeblood drip. But the bones are gone altogether.
