They had always been together, for as long as he could remember. They had always been the best of friends. She had taught him everything he knew, relentlessly preparing him for life in the outside world..
This was the moment they had both been waiting for...
We walked so long it felt like we walked for a month of Sundays. When we found a tower of giraffes, I left him. Trying to spot him was like trying to find a pin in a haystack. When we had a final hug, I felt like he was as good as gold and I was giving him up for a good reason. When I couldn’t bear to look at them any longer I turned away,then I heard a sound and whirled around. I saw them running, as fast as an eagle and as free as the wind and I thought “I hope you like your new life”. Then I turned around and went back home.
