Red Fox #Freewrite's 5mins Prompt

I might have come close to experiencing a fox in my life.

It was midnight or close to it, lights were out in the estate and our little semi completed building had just a door as protection, no fence yet.

The dogs began to bark voraciously and in a split second, all went into hiding and silent.

My cousin opened his door a little to see what was going on, I stood right behind to steal a gaze outside.
We saw it, a fierce hairy animal ran across.
It's a fox, my cousin cried.
Could it be a red fox? I thought.

Where did it come from? Where is it going to?
Will it be lurking around till daybreak? Will we be able to move around freely by morning?

I slept with the thought of that dear fox and woke up leaving it in the past. This prompt brings it back to memory.
