It was a beautiful day. It was dark, cool, and damp, just the way I like it. I looked over at Cassandra and Connor, and they were having just as much fun as I was drinking the water that fell down on us. The light breeze made my hair blow to one side. The ground was moist, making it perfect for everything we do: eat, drink, sleep and socialize.
Although this was paradise to us, there were many dangers in that world. One being the dangerous man that picked mama off of the ground and took her away a year ago.

It was no use. The man raised his knife as my life flew before my eyes. I closed my eyes and waited for it to be over.

“My wife will absolutely love this stew,” I heard him exclaim.
