Tizir came into the world quietly. She felt the cold air but did not yet cry out. Then, a large and rough object came into contact with her body, over and over again. It was wet. She was confused. She cried out for it to stop jostling her. Soon, it did, for a time. There was the feeling of commotion around her, though she could see and hear nothing. She smelled blood. She did not know what blood was, but the metallic scent was no comfort to her and she continued to wail piteously. Soon, she was nudged forward and awkwardly shoved into the side of a great furry mass. She continued to cry, yet instinct told her to bury her face into the fur, to dig for the teat. Within ten seconds, she was no longer crying, instead filling her belly with mother’s milk. She grew sleepy afterwards and slept.
