Tormented Tarns little monsters

dated for the 14th, any tagged are welcome to join. vague since the other thread has not concluded.

the mud caked monster that was sparrow had continued to trek onwards in search of his mama regardless of who followed along. he'd split off from @Wren, @Shadowpaw and @Phoebe Aquilanera and had wandered off in his own direction. he assumed to still be in earshot of any of them should they send up a howl, but after night had begun to creep upon him and he heard nothing, the hotheaded youth realized he was on his own.

days had passed since he'd last seen any of his family and the fear of never seeing any of them again was beginning to sink in like rot. he didn't realize it'd take this long to find mama, nor did he realized just how far he'd wanderer away from the familiarity of the river.

a grumbling stomach had made for fine company the last few hours, and any attempt at catching a meal was unsuccessful. alone and hungry, sparrow continued his poor planned adventure with a newfound sense of dread as he stumbled his way through the tarns.
