The Butcher and The Wren

by Alaina Urquhart

“You’d be surprised how many secrets the dead have told me.”

“They are like trees falling in the forest. They fall. Some people will genuinely care, but most will just want to collect the free firewood and move on.”

WRENS ARE TRULY MAGNIFICENT LITTLE creatures. They signify rebirth and protection, immortality, and strength. Because of the wren’s small stature, most larger birds and predators underestimate its incredible ingenuity and intelligence. But while technically fragile, the wren outwits its underprepared predator to come out on top when threatened.
