Spirit woke to sunshine seeping out from a crack in the rocks above her. Maybe there'll be work for me today... her ears perked hopefully at the thought. She bounded outside full of optimism and energy. Her ears relaxed in disappointment as there were no wolves ouside with sickness or inguries. She sighed, guess I'll go gathering. she stumbled into the woods and came across a bush with black berries. Never seen these before she turned a fallen berry over with her paw, then squishing it to see te middle. A shiny red centre was revealed to her. She sniffed it's juices, only to find out it was a poisonous berry. I suppose it could come in handy... her mind buzzed with thoughts of how it could come in handy as she wrapped a pile in a leaf and carried it with her farther into the woods.
"If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
~Ernest Hemingway, "A Farewell to Arms"
