a beautiful, serene fox cub. water floats around her like petals dancing in the wind. droplets dapple her forehead. her eyes sparkle with a million colors. sparks speckle her coat. wind ruffles her pelt. A fur coat soft as the clouds themself. "Mama?" She whispers, softer than snow. softer than clouds. softer than her fur. The water that floats around her freezes. time seems to stop. a drop of sadness, disappointment, flows down her fluffy white muzzle.
