The Sadness of a Scream

Valarmathi Gergerajan

I was standing alone in a clearing and kept screaming. Missing my friends. My friends were also isolated like me. Each one had their own sad stories. Wherever we went, the five of us would go together. Although we were born different, we are now united. If anyone got food, we would share it. We would always take a rest in this clearing in the evening.
I was the only one who lost my way today, so I came here in search of my friends. There was no place for the five of us to stay or rest here, no shade. We could not see water anywhere. We could not get food, and if someone took pity on us, they would give us food. All the doors of the houses were always closed, so no one could go to the house and ask for food. There was no drinking water facility anywhere in public places.
Only humans were walking around here. Even cats have the ability to go inside houses. It is enough for them to get a little food. They would get food in the garbage bin. There will be a place to help the cold and the sun, but since humans have left us alone, we are struggling to survive in this desert.
We, too, who lived in a place with all the amenities and enjoyed all the comforts, are now searching for a way to survive in different areas of this city. Humans call us dogs. Now I am searching for where my friends are. I am not seeing them in this open space, so I am screaming. I am the only one suffering alone in these human movements. I cannot even imagine how I would live here without my friends.
