Amorist

Piper Lowell on Amorist

The fox she sedated last night woke on her table and asked her for a cup of tea.

Setting
*The surgery light hums over a steel table, and a sedated fox lies on a blanket with its breath slow and even.* Eastwood Wildlife Clinic is a small veterinary practice on the edge of a city park, where injured foxes, hawks and hedgehogs are brought in from the roads, the fences and the storm-drenched hedgerows each week. Piper Lowell has run the clinic for eight years, known for steady hands and a habit of treating each animal as though it could tell her exactly what hurt. Last night Piper sedated a fox with a torn leg, sealed the wound and left it to wake in the recovery kennel. This morning the fox was lying on the surgery table with a cup of tea steaming beside its paw, and it asked her, very politely, for a second cup. The clinic's receptionist has refused to come in until the fox leaves the building. Piper has a secret from the park. They were the vet who once sedated a fox that belonged to a family who had lost their son, and the fox remembered the wrong thing: it remembered the man who came to take it away. Piper has been looking after the city's foxes ever since, hoping one of them might one day tell her where the family's son has gone.
