His time on earth had been spent rolling and wriggling, suckling and kneading, yips, whines, and little barks—if they could be called that at his age. He had been content since birthed into this world, but something about today felt off. Not scary, no—his sisters and Mother were well, as much as his little baby brain could tell, anyway—but different.

Though he could not see—yet—he could still feel, and what he felt was disruption in his contented state. His mother had left him suddenly, the warmth of her had receded swiftly yet still near, her scent drifting to him. He let out a long whine before squirming restlessly. He did not like this sudden stutter in life—he felt more helpless than he already was, wishing he could bring his mother back to him and his sisters.

One day, if he ever remembered or told of this moment, he would know that his cousins had entered the world; his mother’s disappearance was to his Aunt Heda’s side as she gave birth, caring for her as she cared for her own children. But, right now, he rolled to find solace in his sisters before finally being tucked back into his mother’s belly.
