The sun beat down through the crack between the large crates on Mat's little blue head of hair. There wasn't much shade at high noon it seemed like to the little one as he wandered in search of water. He had been alive for days wandering this maze of wooden boxes and there hadn't been a single drop of liquid for the little one to have. He wouldn't die from dehydration, but he did still feel it's effects~ And it was highly uncomfortable to be tortured from lack of liquids.

He stepped out into the open, his lazy and weak little body stiff and sore. Gently he rolled his neck a bit, getting a few stiff muscles to function as he looked up and around. He saw a tail high above, swishing back and forth with little flicks, but there wasn't much to be had for the little one there.

The cap to the bottle of water came off easily as Puzzle happily took a drink of her liquid. She always made sure to have enough to survive, and while it was hard at times, she managed to get by. Her last few trips into the nearby town had granted her with a bounty of water which would last her for at least three more days. Unfortunately, due to her situation, she never wasted water on trivial things such as getting clean. A 'gutter shower' in the town was the best thing she could hope for...

Mat's old body had long since been lost to the desert during her travels. The one crushed up between her toes had been ground into a thin smear of paste inside of her grimy boot... The only evidence that he existed once in this world, was a red stain of blood on the white fabric of her footwear that she never cared to notice.

Mat let out a gentle sigh, coughing a bit as his dry throat stung. It felt like he was filled with sand, though he knew that wasn't the case. Just then, he heard some noises coming from behind.

Quickly, the little one turned to see a pair of feline eyes locked onto his little form. His heart stood still as he watched the cat's tail lift and sway... He rose his arms gently~ He'd already run into the feline before, and after hours of kitty torture, he had been dropped as a present in the cat's owner's boot. It was a very long and painful process, one he wasn't sure he was up to playing again at the moment. He cleared his throat again, biting his dry and cracked lower lip as he watched the feline lower it's front and raise it's bum.

*Wiggle*

*Wiggle*

Just before the feline pounced, Mat felt something slam atop his head. His skull was smashed down into his shoulders as his body folded forward. He could feel his own feet come up to the back of his head as his intestines spewed out from his pelvis. He was folded in half, but the pressure didn't end there. His legs twisted and broke as his chest smashed down forcing all of his organs out of his abdomen and down where his legs should be. It was a quick, brutal crush...

However, his spirit still lingered.

Puzzle stretched with the bottle in her hand, watching as Silvie darted away from her. She must have startled the other feline... It didn't really phase her as she swished her tail casually, unaware that she now had a bit of extra grime on the bottom of her foot. She casually took another pull of her water, shrugging as she stepped forward revealing the flattened - folded body of Mathew.

Still stick to her...

Still alive...
