Caught

Sitting and waiting in the closet left me with nothing to do, and my thoughts started to wander again, this time towards the people I left behind.

"William, Mother, Father, Emma, Beverly, Martin, Philip, Henry", With each name I recited, the flow of tears intensified. I was now permanently cut off from all the people I cared about. I didn't know where I was, and I had no way of going back. Soon I was sobbing uncontrollably.

Added to my misery was the fear that the owner of the house, who I knew by scent to be a man, would soon come back and find me. Even if I managed to escape, if such a wealthy and powerful individual realized that someone invaded his home he could send a whole army to hunt me down. The terror of being chased by an angry mob was fresh in my mind, and that was in Prandia, my home country. I didn't know my way around this foreign land. I barely knew my way around this house.
