I've been up for days

At first she'd only thought jokingly of the snow getting to be as thick as she was tall, but as it kept coming down in thick curtains she actually began to consider the idea that it could actually happen. She could be trapped out here in the cold. Brown eyes looking around frantically, Maple tried to see where the shortest path to cover might be, but with the way it was snowing it was getting harder and harder to see very far anymore. The longer that she walked, the higher her steps had to be. When she'd first set off this morning she'd had no trouble padding over the frosty ground, but now she had to lift her little legs high to move comfortably. Taking a short break , Maple sat, shivering, and looked around. Lost in the middle of an open field when it was snowing... How dumb could she be? Head lowering, she shook a bit harder as despair began to sink in. The little woman was almost about to start sniffling when she thought she heard someone nearby. Perking up,little rounded ears swiveled in all directions trying to catch the source as she got to her paws and looked all around. Seeing nothing, Maple called out a gentle, "Hello?" Actions. "Speak" "Think." |
