Where am I? Icepaw asked himself as he trudged through a gigantic plain that stretched as far as his eyes could see. Only stopped by the range of mountains that stretched even farther. He had walked for over a day and the mountains never seemed any closer. He looked over his shoulder and sighed. He wanted to back, even though he knew it was too late. He shook his head and turned back around.
Two sunrises later, he finally reached the mountain. It was cold. Very cold. He shivered constantly, wondering if he would make it in a place like this. He walked slowly through the dead, snow covered grass. The snow hitting his shoulders chilled him to the bone. He was getting hungry. Where's some prey? He asked himself, looking around for prey. He opened his mouth to taste the air. When he breathed in the air, the cold breeze burned at his throat. He choked on the air, coughing and wheezing. I can't live like this. I need food. His breaths were coming too quick, his heart beating too fast, every breath making his body shudder. He was starving to death, he knew it. Just then, he heard a scampering of tiny paws, even smaller than his. He looked up quickly and saw a mouse skittering around in the snow a few tail-lengths in front of him. He crouched as steadily as he could, holding his breath to try and keep from trembling. He pounced on it, crushing its neck. He shuddered at the taste of the mouse's blood. He bit into it, relishing the taste. He ate at it until nothing was left but the skull and splinters of bone. The meal had given him little strength, though it was enough to keep him moving until Sundown. When Sundown came, he looked around and found a small cave in the side of the mountain. It was barely enough for him to fit in, but it would work. He crawled all the way to the back and found, to his pleasure, that no other animals had laid claim to the cave, and also that it was fairly warm.
Okay, what I've decided is that it's going to be longer than a one-shot but shorter than my regular fiction. I'm gonna call it a mid-shot.
