Binder

(Little house mouse)

 

Watching the light from above silently filtering through the dust of his passage, little Binder is sitting lost and all alone in the dark. Tears are flowing down his furry cheeks, creating slight mud balls around his eyes, as his quivering sniffs go unheard. With the darkness of the wall swallowing all sounds and stealing all sight, he rests his chin in his little paws, taking a long sighing breath. Squinting desperately, impossibly trying to see, he is praying to those unknown forces that the dancing shadows are friends coming to help.
