Erthona - Sometimes when looking at the sun it seems white, or just a blur of white light. The fox was gored, or pierced, by hounds' jaws (it's about fox-hunting in England). He's since been left and somewhat covered by fallen leaves, which form a pattern on his body. Thank you for your honest critique, and those lovely puns
John Galt - I live in England, and the fox was gored by a pack of hounds, led by toffs on horsebackThank you for your kind critique! I have to ask, by the way: did you get your name from Atlas Shrugged?
ChristopherSea - Is fox-hunting a thing outside the UK? And by fox-hunting I mean the upper-classes-in-red-coats-and-black-hats-on-horseback variety. Foxes can be useful, as you say, though I feel a bti sorry for the poor squirrel! Thank you for your interesting comments.
