It’s foggy
November morning, I open my eyes. My brothers are right next to me in small basket
with purple blanket underneath. Blanket is filthy as we all are. Children of the street.
Even thought we do live next to
one old house, they don't give us much attention. We get some food once a day,
maybe twice and it's mostly some meat with potatoes or bread. We sometimes get milk on mornings. It's that kind of morning today.
I don't remember my mother, either my early childhood. She comes from time to time, but she hasn’t come for a while
now. Memories are all very blurred and I'm always so sleepy...
As we grew a little older, some
of my brothers are playing with me, I'm so proud of my family. When chilly night falls on us, we
sleep next to each other again and I feel safe.
Ugh, even days are now getting colder. I don't know what I'd do if I were alone here. We talk about the world behind the
fence. It’s always opened and it calls for us to look out. But we're afraid
what we might find there.
Once my little sister went out
and she never came back. She is very curious and brave. Maybe one day I might
go and maybe I'll find her. But not today, rain is pouring, my blanket is so soft...

This reminds me of a book I read once… it was from the perspective of a kitten whose mama was wild and she was killed by some predator. He was the only one to make it out of the "nest" alive (it was a box or something that was difficult to get out of) and it described his experiences as he grew up and learned to hunt and survive and all that. It was VERY good, kinda sad, but I don't remember the ending. I really liked it, though. Made me feel like I was a wild animal growing up and tasting all the world around me too.
