Sophie climbed out of the den after an afternoon nap with a wide yawn and a sleepy blink of her eyes. She'd left Bug back inside, keeping Boothe company--oddly enough, the doll was growing on her big brother--along with her siblings. She padded out to the little clearing next to their den, and plopped her tiny butt down under a tree, staring up at the cold gray sky. It looked much earlier than it was; for a moment she thought it was still morning, but no. There was the sun, far too high in the sky for it to be too early yet. Sophie frowned up at the clouds for lying to her, then huffed and got up again, prancing out into the center of the clearing.

Sophie climbed out of the den after an afternoon nap with a wide yawn and a sleepy blink of her eyes. She'd left Bug back inside, keeping Boothe company--oddly enough, the doll was growing on her big brother--along with her siblings. She padded out to the little clearing next to their den, and plopped her tiny butt down under a tree, staring up at the cold gray sky. It looked much earlier than it was; for a moment she thought it was still morning, but no. There was the sun, far too high in the sky for it to be too early yet. Sophie frowned up at the clouds for lying to her, then huffed and got up again, prancing out into the center of the clearing.
She played quietly by herself for long moments, and then blinked up at the sky as it began to get colder, shivering bodily. Large, fluffy white things were falling from the sky, and she stared at them in surprise as one floated down and landed on her nose. She yelped a bit as it landed; that was cold! Whimpering, she began running around in circles, trying to avoid the steadily falling snow but failing more and more each time. Sophie was not deterred, though; she kept trying, and didn't even think of going back into the warm, cozy den, even after her teeth began chattering, because she wanted to play outside.
It was just the stupid sky falling, after all.
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
The wheel breaks the butterfly
