High in a tree, Daniel sat wedged among the branches, enjoying the voice of his recorder as it sang to him. Contented, he played with his eyes closed.

He felt comfortable there, having spent hours in the tree outside his bedroom window. The one his uncle had chopped down to spite him. Sitting here tonight, it was as if the tree had been resurrected.

He also felt safer up high than he did on the ground. Any number of predators could pounce on him as he slept. Up high, bundled up like a cocoon, he’d sleep better.

Earlier, beside the river, after drying off and restoring circulation to his hands and feet, which had been frozen in the cave, Daniel had felt human again. The absence of any sign of the killer Epps all afternoon cheered him even more.

He’d done it. He’d escaped. Come morning, with the rising of the sun, a new chapter would start in the life of…

“Daniel! Daniel Cooper!”

The recorder fell from Daniel’s lips and the music died.

He refused to believe what he’d heard.

“Daniel Cooper!”

His name echoed among the trees.

Daniel wanted to blame the recorder for giving him away, but he knew it wasn’t the instrument’s fault. He should have waited. A day. Two days. When he was certain Epps was nowhere near.

With a grunt, Daniel shoved the recorder inside his coat. Epps had killed his good mood.

Glum, Daniel folded his arms and listened with disgust as his name bounced among the trees. In some ways, it sounded like his uncle’s voice at home when he stood at the foot of the stairs and yelled up at him.
