ball as long as I have to. He stops crying. He is bearing his pain.
I stay like this for a long time. I don't know how long. Sense of time has vanished. He hasn't wriggled free of my hold. (β€œIs it too painful for him to move?”) … (β€œWhat he or I feel don't matter, … and I don't care. His bleeding has to stop.”)
The sun is starting to go down. Our houses are at the base of a small mountain. We come into shadows an hour early in the evening. It's still bright out away from the base of the mountain. Everyone is getting ready for dinner.
(β€œI have to take him back to his house. … I have to tell them what I did to him.”)
I wrap my right hand over his bleeding paw and pick him up with my left hand clutching him against my chest. He is limp. Strength went out of him. I walk as fast as I can. I don't want to shake him, not his bleeding paw. Right around the corner of the entrance to the front walk I see grandpa. He is smoking his pipe, standing outside the front door. Men don't bother with meal preparations. They just eat. He sees me and his face makes a chuckle and then frown. Stone pebbles under my feet makes a loud noise and that's all I hear.
β€œHelp me!” I dole out a wretched face. β€œI cut his claw and it's bleeding bad.”

I appreciate it if you read the rest of this. Thank you for your interest. The rest is at www.Amazon.com. It is $0.99 for Kindle, Windows PC and iPhone. You can get it at www.Smashwords.com that is for $1.10 but they provide wider formats.
