4:15<\/p>\n
Edward stared at the sad little lemon tree and its single bloom, sitting slightly askew under the boughs of the pine tree. It obviously hadn\u2019t been there for long but already a few pine needs lay in the soil of its brown plastic pot. There was no sign of how it had been manhandled into its present position, but for the life of him Edward couldn’t imagine how the beaver had brought it to its current resting place.<\/p>\n
There were no other signs that anyone had been in this particular gap in the trees and bushes lately. No tracks, no scuffs nor drag marks in the leaves and needles that littered the ground. It was as if the lemon had been magically transported to this site; and that, as Edward knew perfectly well, was ridiculous. He had more than enough experience with the universe to know magical things always had a rational explanation. It really only depended on whose rationality you were using.<\/p>\n
Still, was it really important to consider the how, or was that just a dead end that would waste even more of his time? Time, Edward was acutely aware, was in fact running out. The moment was now, and he had little time to act if he wanted to retain any sense of control over the situation. And, Edward admitted to himself, control was always an issue with him.<\/p>\n
A moment, nothing more, and then we will move on. There’s just a chance that this sad-looking citrus is the key to something useful.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 4:15 Edward stared at the sad little lemon tree and its single bloom, sitting slightly askew under the boughs of the pine tree.
