The apple cart.
From the journal of the Wolf of the North · a work of fiction
A reindeer startled by traffic sent an apple cart rolling toward a family's doorway. The father reached for the cart as the animal turned, leaving his daughter exposed behind him.
I caught the axle and swung the cart between them. Apples scattered down the street while the reindeer escaped through an alley. The daughter gave me the one apple that had stayed in its crate.
