5th Day of Summer, 510 A.V.
Don't drop it, don't drop it, don't drop it...
Her heart pounding so hard she thought it would pop out of her chest and wander off, Kietis walked slowly down the stuffy hallway, holding a huge sack of-- well, she didn't know what it was, but it was half her size and felt three times as heavy. She must have been walking for days... maybe even years. She could be fully grown now, for all she knew.
She grunted as the sack began to slide out of her grip, and she leaned it against a wall, letting it slowly slide down so that it rested on the stone floor. She followed its example, glad to give herself a small rest, and glanced at her shoes.
No. She was the same age. If she was older, she most definitely would have changed her shoes by now.
Kietis squirmed and pulled her knees to her chest, taking shelter beside the bulky bag. She giggled at her cleverness. Now, if anyone should come and walk this way, all they would see was a sack of... of something, and they would be on their merry way. She sighed, leaning her head against the bag. Whatever it was, it squished a bit and cushioned her head. Now, she would just relax her eyes for a minute.
Of course, no one would think of coming the other way, she thought just before the thmp, thmp of someone's footsteps came down the hall.
