You are Ogress
Stretched out before you in all directions is
Desolate earth
Nothing but the cold night air
You are so cold that it hurts to your very bones
You walk and walk but find nothing
No predators
No prey
No grass
No water
No humans
No shelter
Just as Lorna had said
After walking so long
You are so very tired
But the unrelenting cold keeps you awake
Too exhausted to move
Too cold to sleep
You simply lay on the dead dry soil
Morning comes and you crawl across the ground
You crawl for what seems like forever
But no matter how far you crawl nothing but more dead dry soil
Can be seen on the horizon
The only thing keeping you going is the hope that something.anything will come into view if you just keep crawling
Night comes and this time despite the cold you sleep
You dream of Pete snuggling next to you
“It ok mumma Pete gib aww da wawm Huggies”
You wake from the dream
Still nothing but desolate land as far as the eye can see
You continue crawling
It’s nearly night time again
But you finally see something on the horizon
You see. the farm?
You keep crawling
It is the farm!
You crawl up the long gravel driveway
Someone is waiting at the top
Lorna?
And
Pete!?
You use the last of your energy to stand up and sprint towards them
Pete welcomes you with open arms
You can feel the warmth of his fluff
And you snuggle with Pete as you drift off to sleep
You wake up and you are still
Surrounded on all sides by nothing
No predators
No prey
No grass
No water
No humans
No shelter
Just as Lorna had said
