Dawnlark Plains i watched the fire that grew so low

what?

but daddy was right there.  and bugs didn't seem too happy when she ate them.  she was too young to understand that somewhere very far from here grayday was young and unhindered side-by-side with the adeline he remembered.

maybe she would never know who adeline was to her father.  she'd never get to know a lot of things now.

then suddenly, dawn was on top of her, and shale was yelling, and the frightened young girl squatted and urinated where she stood.  to think, she had once had the most spunk out of all of her littermates only to be reduced to this.
