Redhawk Caldera If the world would end today

Eljay knew that Uncle P was just trying to make him feel better, but it somehow wasn't hitting home at all. He sobbed and sniffled, feeling terrible, and looked up at Uncle P when he spoke. Eljay wasn't so sure — the world outside was full of pain, and Eljay was too afraid that mommy wouldn't come back; like last time. It brought back all sorts of memories of a year ago, when he had last lost mommy.

"I gotta go too," Eljay sniffled, but he didn't move, staying on the ground; perhaps because he knew he couldn't. The puppies needed him and daddy needed him, and he was too terrified to go out there alone to look for mommy. He looked at the ground, at his paws, feeling like a terrible coward and wishing he was braver so that he could go and find mommy and Lucy both back home.
