Lost Creek Hollow hey! welcome to the murder

aengus had managed to put some decent space between his mother’s slumbering form and himself. even on his stubby little arms and legs, the boy had managed to draw himself close to the mouth of the den. he’d seen the first glimmering of sunlight and had found himself completely transfixed by the premise of it. of course, nothing was going to hold him back from exploring the phenomenon.
 
it was not until he had scooted a little too far that he felt the cold wash over his round figure. aengus lifted his head back and squeaked sharply into the den. he could not really make out the shapes that were outside, but he definitely saw that there was something out there. it was kinda bigger than he was and had some darker coloration than the young aengus had ever seen. that wasn’t really had to accomplish when the only thing he’d been privy to was the pale underside of his mother, and his stinky siblings.
