Chapter 124 - Watchful Nature

As my feet buried themselves within the dirt, I would be overcome with a sense relief. It was not the fact that I was touching dirt, as I could not even feel its nuances, only its weight. It was the fact that I was finally safe from the constant sense of danger that the heights provided. Looking back at my path I could see the patches that my feline hands had striped way on my journey to the bottom. I could return to human form knowing that if I tripped, I'd be fine to fall. So, that is exactly what I did, the pigment returning to me as the plates disappeared.
