Brown Bear Finds A Rock
The warmth of the sun woke me from my slumber underneath my favorite pine tree. I stretched out my front paws first, then my hind legs, letting out a gigantic yawn. A few small sparrows were startled by the ferocious sound and fled from their perch on the branch above. I slowly rolled onto my feet and did a little shake starting from my ears down to my stub of a tail. Sleepily, I looked around the forest, not a creature in sight. Life as a bear is lonely, everyone is afraid of you. Aside from when I get hungry, I’m usually a pretty pleasant guy, but no one would dare get close to a scary brown bear.

Escape to the Lost Island
What was she doing here? The question plagued her mind near constantly lately but so far, Catori had not come up with a truly viable answer. At least not in the sense that she felt it justified her presence here. True, curiosity had initially drawn her only the surf eroded bridge of land made visible in the lowest tide. Apprehension too had driven her onward when the pale female realized that the same sea that revealed the sundrenched pathway to her, was now beginning to reclaim it again with the rising tide. Even excitement made its way into her thoughts at the realization that not even her ancestors had touched these paths in their lifetimes. Over and over, the stories were told in her family of great deeds and length journeys; of exploring new paths and marking boundaries that were still recognized today. Wouldn't it be something, to be able to say that she had blazed the new trail in life, one not marked by ancient pawprints of ghosts long gone?
