Endless Curiosity

Onward she marched. In quiet hush of dawn as the sun lit the horizon in all its glorious hues. Turning the blue sky orange-pink with a touch of some purple shade. Colors she could not touch nor ever reach. Always in the distance and thus never right in front of her pathway.

As she continued trudging on she came to a halt as something poked up from the ground. Perhaps a rock with an odd shape half buried by the timeless erosion of the planet's crust.

With a twitch of her ears she crept toward the mystery that had been unearthed. It surely was no dead creature she'd ever seen. Well not one recently dead.

Lowering her snout closer as she soon stood over it she inhaled. It smelled of dirt and bone. Moving her forepaws she began to dig. Shifting the first layer of the planet in that one small spot. One each movement of one forelimb the dirt went shooting backward behind her.
