and after getting a second opinion or two, the winner is Strudel! Your form was excellent, there was a lot of emotion in both the artwork and the writing. I really enjoyed your form and the overall direction, everything corresponded really well with one another.

I'm still going to award an RU to Zumizoom and Grifforik. Both of your forms were great as well, and I have some ideas for the two RUs, so be prepared to see those when I'm done~

Writing 1;

I can still remember staring out that window by the sea. The air was often cold, and the smell of salt would fill the entire room when the window was open.
The window was rarely open.

I was a simple housepet then, bought at a store for the amusement of humans. I was fine with that when I was a pup, but as I matured I began to hate my prison. I was simply a slave to the whims of humans-- humans that could care less about me most days. They would pat my head when they would pass, but elsewise they didn't seem to care at all what I did. This was fine, I didn't care much for their affection anyway.
I only cared about the outside world.

I never grew up all the way, I was stunted. Even now when I should be getting close to full adult height I am simply still a pup in looks. Because of this I could never climb the fence out back.
But I thought maybe, just maybe, I could scale the window if it happened to be open.
I never dared to try until I saw her one day.
There was a beautiful viscet with flowing hair walking along the beach. She looked to it with longing, as if it were an old friend finally united with her.
She was beautiful, the most beautiful soul I had laid eyes on. I knew then that this was when I needed to escape finally. She was free out there, happy, and it's what I wanted too. As fate would have it, the day was warm and the window was open.

The other viscet was out of sight when I caught proper courage and finally jumped to the window, hugging the frame and scrambling up as quickly as I could. But it was so far from the ground, and I was so scared. I wasn't very old mentally yet, perhaps a pre-teen. I didn't know how old I was so I couldn't be sure. Still, I was already halfway there, I had to go through with it. So... I jumped. Just like that, straight out the window and onto the lawn. I busted my lip, but other than that I was safe. Better yet, I was free.

I grinned, proud of myself. At least I was proud of myself until I realized... I had nowhere to go. I was terrified. I had never been out on my own. I was still a kid, younger looking than I was but still. I ran to the beach in a blind panic, knowing I should find that female and ask her how to survive, but I was scared to even do that.
Still, I had to do something and so I searched for her. I followed her prints until I lost track of them.

It was nightfall, and at least i had the sense to look for shelter. It was then that I met with her, in a cave. She had a fire going, and as I cautiously approached her, she invited me over without hesitation. She shared her shelter, fire, and food with me.

She asked for my name of course, which I gave, and she gave hers in return.
"Hartley." she answered, smiling softly "What are you doing out here, all alone?"
I had been hesitant at first, but she was easy to talk to. Soon, she had my whole story told to her. She even offered to let me travel with her, though I declined in the end. She told me where I could find here if I ever needed help before we parted ways.

I never forgot her, or her kindness. Eventually I went to see her again, but that's a story for another time.

Writing 2;
Ever since leaving my childhood home, I've had to learn just how harsh the world can be. Don't get me wrong, I certainly don't regret it, but it wasn't as happy and easy as I thought it would be. I faced plenty of ridicule for my abnormal ears and my lack of growth and faced many hardships.

I would never go back, I have no want of that life from before. I want to work toward a better life, though I know it won't be easy in the least. In the meanwhile I'm remaining as strong as I can be as I work toward that goal, and toward finding a new purpose for my life.
