She just stood there as I layed on the ground. She didn’t try to come closer, nor get far away.

She just watched me.

I tried to speak but the words wouldn’t come out. I held a paw out to her. Old friend, won’t you reach for my paw?

She ran away and I watched as she headed towards a nearby town.

But her face turned scared, and I began to scramble off the ground to grab on to her.

Did I really miss seeing an entire town before I fell?
