paynekjComment by K3Master: In the most unexpected place imaginable, it awoke. There, among the lazy field of summer flowers, with the grasses blowing in the breeze, and a silence about that place, it suddenly found itself alive, and conscious.
It didn't know why, or how, or did it even much care, for it was like to a newborn in its thoughts, and because of this it was mostly instinct that governed it then, and with instinct came the basics of thought. Those of confusion, fear, and hunger.
And as it cast about, desperately searching for a way to settle that hunger, that so blinded it to all else for the moment, it came to the realization that it could not move from this spot, anchored to the ground by a single stem, and there was no food within reach. Then the fear and confusion became terror and anger, and it reached its face to the sky and gave a great cry of frustration, it's many yellowed teeth bared, and its lament went unheeded.
