Silver Creek there is a blur beyond the white

There is much to be said on the topic of light. Initially, there had been nothing but the glares of the sun's rays sneaking in through the den's entrance and onto Soni's tiny blue eyes. She had come to favor the corners of her home, often hiding her face in her mother's pelt to shield her from the outside. Occasionally, she would stir, allowing the light to shine back into the girl's eyes, sending cries and yelps to everyone who was near enough to hear them. 

Soni had made another advancement; she was walking! Rather, stumbling along. For such a new skill, it seemed to be quite refined albeit with the occasional tumble. When this did happen, she would babble and laugh, managing to climb back onto all fours. This morning in particular, Soni woke up before the rest of her large family and tried her little trick of hobbling around their slumbering bodies. As she came nearer to the entrance, she tripped head over heels, landing with her eyes in a direct stream of the rising sun.

There was a blood-curdling gargle released as she scurried back into her mother's side, her small body quivering in fear.
