Time Period: A Flashback
Event: Gabriel's birth
Gem's p.o.v as a husky dog
My heart breaks over the loss of my dead puppies. I wonder what good can come from all this
suffering? The contractions start up again. I prepare myself to deliver another puppy. I try to hold
and keep it inside me longer. I fear I may lose this one. I scream in agony as if the puppy is
stuck in the birth canal. I am a total drama queen. My caretakers don't know that I am
actually faking. They discuss calling in reinforcements or performing a surgical procedure.
They are relieved when I deliver a healthy pup. They name him Snowball.
Time Period: The Present Reality
Gem's p.o.v
Lingering around like the dying sun
An ocean of bittersweet memories
Seeping through my veins
This constant need and desire to protect you
I will try to hold and keep it inside me longer
