[fancypost borderwidth=0px; text-align: justify; width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-family: impact; color: black; font-size: 14pt;]Laying buried beneath piles and piles of leaves was an Australian kelpie dog-- And he's dead right now. Dead for a long while, but not any more. No, today was the day at life once more. The covered figure was silent before a sudden gasp erupted from lungs not used in months.
Breath!
Breath!
Inhale.
Exhale.
Inh-
Pieces of dirt and crunched up leaves block up his air ways, making him thrash about. Air! Air! The young canine squirmed while trying to find the source every living creature needed.
Oxygen.
At last, the wonderful element passed in and out through his mouth rapidly before slowing down.
Darkness
The last dying light of the Sun's rays were consumed by the shadows and made everything appear ominous and eerie. The young black and tan canid felt the cold grip of fear touch him and he began to panic. Jaws immediately parted to let out a cry of help, but nothing came out. Only a low, whimpering sound and the eleven month old began to shake violently. Eyelashes fluttered as the frightened being held back tears while he struggled to get out of the mesh of leaves and muck. Shaking himself, the newly revived mammal quickly yet quietly scampered forth, keeping low to the ground as possible.
Hours passed and he flopped onto the ground, far from any civilization and possibly any contact. The figures in the dark continuously made him scared, and that's when he noticed something. A single eye was making up the sight for two.
Help!
Rasing a paw, the quivering one waved a paw in front of both eyes. The left was fine, the right... Not so much. The movement didn't even register and worse, he couldn't even see anything. Not even the soft glimmer of light from the Moon on occasion. With a throbbing heart, he picked himself up and slunk around, looking for anything to cover it up. A bit of luck was sent his way and he found an eyepatch amongst the grass. The box indicated it had been there for a long while, but the item inside was untouched. A silent pray went off in his mind and he managed to get it over the correct one after several minutes.
A few more hours passed and he licked his chops, twitching as they bumped against the slightly longer-than-average canines. They itched due to poking out and made moving his mouth uncomfortable.
Cold
A small sensation started in his throat before turning into a fierce burning. Unable to hold them back, hot tears rolled down his gentle face, irritating the blind eye behind the piece of fabric over it. The will to push forth was gone (there wasn't any there to begin with) and he collapsed onto the freezing earth under him. Trembling and letting fear sink in, the soon-to-be member had no clue that he crossed the border and happened to be a couple of feet in.
Help me!
