Tiny, black ears twitch as my small body comes to life. The ground is cold beneath me and there seems to be leaves and dirt all over my coat. I sit up and try to blink away my dreams. Boy it's dark out I think to myself. I try to rub my eyes with my small, soft paws. When I go to look again, I still see nothing. What the hell? fighting panic, I scramble to my feet, I must just be in a really dark part of the woods. Once I have found my bearings I go to take a step to my right. I am instantly and painfully met with a face full of rock. What the actual hell?! I huff deeply, trying really hard not to completely freak out now. I should have seen that. Why didn't I see that?! Where the hell am I?!
"Momma?!"
I call out to the darkness.
"Momma where are you?! Where am I?! What happened???"
My voice is met with silence. Nothing but the sounds of nature. I stand motionless for a moment. And then it hits me like a tsunami. Complete panic. And then comes the pain. My eyes hurt, like a weird, dull throbbing. I again try to rub them, they still feel like my eyes, but I can't even see my paws. What the hell.... what the hell, what the hell, WHAT THE HELL?! as quickly as I can I do a mental check of the rest of my body. Ears? check. Tail? check. 4 legs? check. Everything is accounted for. So, what is going on with my eyes?!
Finally, panic takes a hold of me.
"I can't see! I CAN'T SEE!!"
Without thinking my small legs start running. Within 10 strides I run head on into a tree. After falling back and shaking my head free of stars I again find myself in an all out sprint. I brush against another tree, then another and another. All the time screaming that I can't see. Why can't I remember anything. I remember that I have a mother but I can't even remember what she looks like. My mind is nothing but a blank slate. I am young but I am certainly not THAT young! I have memories! I have a life! It can't just be gone!
I run and run. No idea how long for. My tiny young paws carrying me into oblivion. Along the way I run into at least 5 more objects, becoming progressively more frustrated each time. The throbbing in my eyes won't stop. Suddenly, letting out a yelp, I trip over a root and tumble down a hill. I land with a massive splash in thick, squishy water. No, mud. It was mud. Panicking even more now I scream and try to walk back out, nearly my entire body is encased. Mustering up all my strength I start to jump in the forward direction. My body is now covered in thick mud, it makes suction sounds each time I jump. Slowly I make my way forward, bit by bit, my body growing ever heavier with each movement. When it seems my body may give up from exhaustion my already bruised face hits something soft, it smells of grass. As fast as I can I scramble up the object and plop myself back onto land. Breathing heavily, I stand back up, my legs quivering. I stop for a moment thinking maybe I somehow got my vision back in my panic. Ha, fat chance. I try to "open" my eyes, to no avail.
"oh come on!"
I yell to the sky. Again, whimpering, I take off. Much slower this time as I am thoroughly drenched with heavy swamp mud. Seemingly as quickly as I had started up again I find myself colliding once again with with an object, this time it felt weirdly furry. Thinking my senses were now all playing tricks on me I fall back and then try to run forward one last time. Unfortunately my currently blind self gets tripped up in my own puppy legs and I fall forward into a tumble, landing in a fluffy, muddy heap on the ground. What the hell!?

Leviathan
From the mouth of the ocean and the eye of the wave
You erupt in my being and leap from my grave;
A lover so gloomy, yet dreadfully bright
You're clothed with darkness but crowned with light.
You come in the spark, you soar with the fire
The mist is your pillow, the tornado your choir;
I will kiss you to sleep on the wild ocean crest
A sleeping volcano, an earthquake at rest.
