That shift, thee unsettling change of nature that ive just witnessed, a shift of balance: making me feel like the world just turned upside down, and now were all falling. Yet, it seems the world still moves, the trees still grow tall in this plain, and my young, three children roam the forest, tumbling over each other. I hope someone else feels these chills, the ominous work of mother nature, as she tries to fool us. Something is happening here, yet, I feel I am left alone in a new world - a world in which I suddenly leaped into, without second thoughts. I need to take these three children else where. Across Death Valley. Who says they'll make it? I'm weak, old. My last three, you three. Hope, I can only do, you will grow strong, and stay healthy. Live, grow. Be thee best of many. Stay. Together.
Why is my mother staring into the mist like that? Can she not tell we need to go. Her sudden annoyance of nature, It reckons with me. I cannot play her mood, for somehow, I feel the shift. The shift- telling me of difference. My mother, shes changed suddenly. Her happy go skippy mood torn from the earth, as she now stares blank. She tells us we need to go- telling me, something is all wrong. Ive never seen a threat, but my mothers wandering eyes says: the world has one. One, who could whip my existence. How do I know this? My mind somehow a spinning record, playing over with these thoughts. I'm here, for now. My brother, my sister, live, stay. Who knows how long we could survive. I know my mother. We need to be the best of many. Stay. Together.
He is beginning to worry me. My younger brother stumbles behind me, as he has weakened his leg. Will he be one who falls behind? My mother tells us stories, stories of triumph. She promises us protection, but according to my old brother, who only stares off, and does not play - something is out there. Coming to get us younger creatures, to whip us from the planet. Why do I feel he is suddenly so correct? The sky remains blue, the sun is forever a shining light. Why do I find this insanity drive? Thee feeling of incorrectness, something is happening. I can feel the soft, angry, sudden grumble. Mother nature has made a devious plan, has she not? The grass changes direction with a soft wind, I feel it too. Why, can we not feel it together? We need to be the best of many. Stay. Together.
What is with mom today? My sister, older brother- they stare at her with concerning eyes. Can they not feel the other eyes that watch around? Those weird, skinny creatures in the trees, the rough, grumble of the ground beneath me. That huge creature, now stumping his way close... How do they not see it? And now, why am I the only one here? Alone. I am not the best of many. I am the best of a few. I will not stay. Not, ever. Not together... Alone. And running for my life.
