come and play with me

Shae stood just outside the entrance of the family den, now that they were allowed outside Shae wasn't sure what to do with her freedom. They were allowed to explore on their own as long as they didn’t go too close to the water. They could explore the water if they had an adult to supervise. Shae didn’t know what she wanted to do today. Momma said that the weather would only be getting warmer and the world would continue to become greener. Shae wasn’t sure she believed her, but all she knew was winter in her short life.

The tiny child sighed softly and looked up to the bright blue sky, as though the answer to her problem would fall from the sky. She wondered if momma’s raven or caracal might be close by to play with her. She wasn’t sure where her siblings were, but one of them would have been a welcome playmate. She lowered her little puppy bottom to the ground and sat in contemplation. She never had trouble deciding what to do when she had company.
