A Tiny Roar in the Dark
The dark was deep, cool, and vast. Shh... I twitched my right foot. It moved! My suit clicked softly against the black wood. Above me, big shapes loomed silently on a high ledge. Were they beasts? I held my breath, ducked slightly under the shelf support, and puffed out my chest. 'GRAWR!' Just a squeak slipped out. I tapped the cold vertical beam with my claw. Solid. Safe. This hollow nook is mine now.
