Milo woke up half in, half out of the water as if he'd washed up there like a dead animal for a moment. It was very nice. The smell of earth and grass and wildflowers, the cool of the water on his skin. Then, as always memory came first a whisper, then a roar and milo gagged on it. The memory of the rolling truck and the chopping and two, and the crushing and drowning and chemicals was still immediate, still tangible.
