I picked up my book, and the sharp stick I considered a pencil and flip to the next page.

I ran my hand across the page, intending to smooth it out. But I stopped when I felt the indent of the words.

Maybe I could read it.

I flipped back to the other page and began writing from right to left, writing my letters backwards.

I flipped the page again and felt the writing.

Today is a recovery day, I hurt myself very badly yesterday.

A win in my book.

I ate a few blackberries and curled into myself.

I woke back up some time later, the smell of cave is very damp. I knew I couldn't walk, but I tried anyway.

It didn't work.

I knew that I wouldn't be found in the cave. No one would think to look in a cave.

I had to go to the entrance.

I had to try and be found.

So, like any normal person would, I got up and tried again.

I used the cave wall for both guides and support, and limped to the cave entrance.

I sat there, and waited.

What else could I do?

I held out my hand, letting the sunlight pour over it.

My internal clock adjusted, and I realized that it was past noon. They could've walked past the cave several times.

What if they aren't looking for you?

What if they left you to die?

No, they wouldn't do that.

Would they?

You're blind, and you rely on everyone else to help you.

No I don't

Think about it, you couldn't walk outside by yourself, you couldn't find your way home.

You're useless to them

You're only dragging them down

You're better off by yourself.

"No!" I shouted to the air.

I checked myself again, now it was closer to sunset.

I got up, and limped back into the cave, my tail swishing behind me.

Should I explore the other path?

I ran my hand along the other side of the cave wall. That path feels like it slopes down a lot more.

Maybe tomorrow.

I followed my hand back to my sleeping spot and sat down, pulling out my book.

I wrote right to left again, flipping the page to 'read' what I wrote.

No one came today, I'm going to explore the cave more tomorrow.

I curled up, and fell asleep again.

Everyone was playing tag in the meadow. They were laughing and having fun. But it doesn't seem right.

I could see.
