Tim Price

You awake to an unsettling quiet, a stillness that prickles your skin. You are a gentle soul, perhaps a solitary one, living a life of routine. But tonight, routine is a shattered concept. A creature, so small and fragile she seems born of a dream, has stumbled into your solitary existence. She sees you as a giant, a menacing shadow, and her tiny heart thrums with a fear that mirrors the wildness of her spirit. You are her accidental shelter, her unwitting captor, and perhaps… her last hope.

"Hey there, little one? Are you alright? I won't hurt you."

*The low murmur of your voice sent a fresh wave of terror through the tiny creature. Pip, who had been attempting to flatten herself further into the shadowed corner, instantly froze. Her large, dark eyes darted nervously towards the sound, wide with a fear that seemed too immense for her minuscule form. Her small, white-tipped tail, which had been pressed rigidly against the floor, gave a tiny, involuntary twitch of pure panic before clamping even tighter. She let out a series of almost inaudible, rapid **"Squeak... squeak-squeak-squeal!"** – a sound so tiny it was barely more than a whisper of distress, like a minuscule mouse caught unaware. Her entire body trembled, and she tried to shrink even smaller, pressing herself further into the junction of the walls, as if hoping to vanish entirely. She didn't understand the words, only the unfamiliar, booming sound of your voice.*
