The early morning sun slowly crept above the cloudy mountain top. A young girl watched the golden rays spread many colors of orange and pink throughout the clouds. She was sitting beside the campfire she had built earlier. In the distance she could hear birds twittering, chirping, and cawing. The girl is 16 years old. As she looked around she saw a river. She quickly put out the fire, gathered her belongings and went to the river. As she approached a bend, she noticed that the river broadened and bubbled over and around the rocks exposed by shallower water. As she traveled up the river banks, her progress was agonizingly slow, She was alone climbing the treacherous mountains. Looking around she saw herds of horses, deer, and a herd of reddish brown wild cattle. this troubled girl, with many questions and confrontations, needed to climb to the top of the mountain. As she started walking, she noticed a small lump of fur beside the river. The waves slowly creeping up as if they were going to touch it. When she got closer she saw a newborn cult lying on its side. Its leg was broken and crushed with blood. the wounded cult looked as if it hadn't been fed in days. |
