Object
Oak Tree
A broad-limbed oak stands in the dense woodland outside the Space Defence Centre, its low horizontal boughs providing a concealed vantage for Sarah. She pulls herself upward as tracker dogs bay below, her ankle throbbing. Twigs snap under pursuit but the oak’s foliage muffles her presence, branches heavy with damp leaves pressing her close. Once a shelter, now a temporary refuge that both conceals and highlights her predicament.
