Adrift

[soupguy]

A bird screeched overhead, and Boober - already feeling weak from panic and hunger - curled up where he sat beneath a tree. He really shouldn't have come up here, he'd never wanted to do this whole thing... Sure, most Fraggles surfaced at some point before coming of age, to awaken the full extent of their magic. But he'd never cared about that! He'd let his friends talk him into it, and now he regretted it.

He didn't know what was safe up here! What could he eat, what would hurt him and what wouldn't...? He was scared to make a sound with those large birds flying around, but he couldn't help a whimper as he shuddered.
