The clouds had just dropped a light shower of summer rain exposing the smell of moist, fertile earth and the musty scent of damp wood.  \nA woodlouse crept across the back of his hand and he watched it closely; magnified in extreme detail, the rippling fringe of legs, body like a segmented coffee bean.  \nLeo opened his eyes and realised he was actually in the garden, kneeling there in his Winnie-the-Pooh pyjamas. It wasn’t a dream, but it had been exactly like dreaming, with his head at the centre, looking out onto everything.  \nHe had always been able to exert control over his dream landscape with ease, and mould the surroundings there like the coloured lumps of clay and Lego bricks he played with.  \nIt was as easy as blinking.  \nHe stood up and examined the woodlouse again, turning his hand over so it could navigate a course across his palm. He felt a connection, like tiny pins prickling inside his head-the insect belonged.  \nLeo followed the connection, looking down at his toes. The ground had turned black. There were hundreds of woodlice spilling over his feet.  \nSo he blinked.  \nThe woodlice began to curve around his feet in the concentric circles that iron filings make around a magnet. They came in swirling waves, flowing under the garden fence. Streams of them joined the mass around Leo’s feet from the neighbouring gardens, making soft, wet, clicking sounds.  \nLeo concentrated hard, screwing up his mouth. He used the woodlice to draw patterns with. They spelled out his name and he smiled. He organised them into a line, like a Roman legion marching to war, and then he set off down the slope for the bottom of the garden; down into the shade of the trees and the moist air of the strawberry patch.  \nFollow me.  \nHe stood under a mighty beech tree and the woodlice made a spiral up the trunk like a barber’s pole. They swarmed along a branch that jutted out, high up into the air over the wall of hedgerow that bordered the bottom of the garden. Beyond the hedge the grassy slope dipped sharply down to a fast-flowing stream.  \nLeo giggled with delight as he directed the flood of insects off the edge of the branch. They poured from the tree in a writhing, black jet of bodies and feelers that tumbled out into space and down to the rushing waters.  \n‘Leo?’ His grandfather called from the house.  \nHis concentration was broken and the perfect river of woodlice broke its banks, shattering into thousands of individual creatures, hailing down from the tree. The chorus of soft clicking noises increased in intensity to a violent, chattering sound, as though they were protesting as a single entity.  \n‘Leo!’  \nHis eyes narrow","cbCairWFtt3wRjjb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairWFtt3wRjjb","pdf",187252,11,"English","# FICTION\n## The Insect Garden\n# Editorial\n## Welcome to issue 103\n# Feature\n## Interview with Colin Ferguson","[{\"question\":\"What is the main fiction story in issue 103?\",\"answer\":\"The fiction section features The Insect Garden by Ilan Lerman.\"},{\"question\":\"Who writes the editorial welcome for this issue?\",\"answer\":\"Alasdair Stuart provides the editorial note welcoming readers to issue 103.\"},{\"question\":\"What role does Leo play in The Insect Garden?\",\"answer\":\"Leo dreams of a garden and gains control over the dream landscape, using woodlice to form patterns and follow his direction.\"}]","Hub Magazine - Issue 103 - FICTION The Insect Garden | PDF",1789971811,17]
