Secret Squirrel

I met Will for lunch at the cafe in Russell Square. It came highly recommended and lived up to expectations. Walking back to the office, I passed a squirrel sitting upright in one of the flower beds that line the edge of the square. It had its little fists balled up and it stared at me. I stared back. We stood there for about five minutes watching each other, neither one of us moving.
And then he got down on all fours and walked over to me. He came right up to my foot and looked up. It looked like he was asking for something to eat.
I almost bent down to touch him, but then an image of him running up inside my trouser leg slipped into my mind and I jumped back. He jumped back, too, and scuttled off back to the bed to stand upright again and watch as I walked away.
He must have been getting hungry in the cold. Probably couldn’t get his nuts out of the ground.
