Baby steps

"Speech" Think

Well, Suspense was really in a pickle now. The poor girl was seated on her haunches in that loose sort of way of a puppy that was tired, she gazed up at the circle of the sky she could see from her position in the pit. It wasn't really a big hole or anything but for the tiny pup it's walls were too tall for her to escape by herself. She'd been following Ruin's scent, one moment happily waddling after her sister's trail and then the next the ground under her paws had dropped away and with it her tiny form had tumbled into a hole that an adult would recognize is suspiciously puppy-sized. Suspense didn't suspect her sister had set a trap but she had still fallen for it hook line and sinker.

After what felt like a million years to the tiny pup, but was closer to 15 minutes, of trying to escape the pit she had to give up, simply hope that an adult would find her soon. She was simply too small, her legs too short, to escape the hole.
