ET- Fence Fall

The moth-light of the houses grew bigger, and still more compelling. He stumbled through the brush and down a sandy bluff, his long toes tracing outlandish tracks there, upon a winding path that led toward the houses.

Directly ahead of him was a fence he’d have to climb. Such long fingers and toes as he had were good for getting a grip . . . on . . . obstacles . . .

He climbed like a vine to the top of the fence, but toppled down the other side, stomach upward, feet flailing. He hit, limbs splaying in every direction, a whimper of pain on his lips, and rolled, pumpkinlike, across the lawn.
