After what seemed like ages it started moving in my direction... I just lay there sprawled on the floor... scarcely breathing... Afraid it would hurt me... or worse rip me to bits... Instead it ambled up to me slowly... stopped very close to me... I was trembling like a leaf in the wind... and pushed its nose into my neck.... like a cat seeking comfort from pain... I saw a single tear... as clear as crystal fall from its eyes... In time it gave way to unabashed weeping... Its clear blue eyes filled with sadness... like a clouded sapphire...
