Heron Lake Plateau Breakaway

Apparently somewhere beneath the spot Vasa had chosen, there had probably been a dead bush that decayed away or maybe a labyrinth of above-ground-below-snow tunnels dug by some small prey item because she was pretty sure it wasn't supposed to collapse that much.  Either way, if there was any forensic evidence, the youth had pretty much smashed all  of it.  Hopefully nobody was using those tunnels if that's what it was!

One of the sides of the hole she'd made had sort of collapsed down on her, and part of the previous noises was her trying to backpedal out so her head would be free.  She just stupidly stayed there a moment, blinking at it.  Yeah, if Owen had that happen to him, he'd be screaming like a banshee.  Vasa apparently wasn't aware enough though to actually say something about it -- her dad would have been hovering around and would have dragged her out by her tail by now.  She was just starting to get herself back together and remember what she was going to be doing when Fineley called.  Um.  Yeah.  It's really deep...  She tried poking her head up and eventually some black ears would be easily visible.
