Peirce is a fawn. Not so long ago his mother died. At first he was depressed, never wanting to leave his old life, but now he is determined to live on in the forest by himself.

Peirce decided one day to wander around the forest. He ended up running away crying. Many deer were beating him. Peirce is still sore from the blows. He was lonely and scared.

Peirce was afraid of the forest for a long time. Today he came out, losing his fear of the woods. Luckily, he was not hurt, and he actually found a few friends to play with.

After a while Peirce ran though the forest, hopping over rocks until he found the Playground. He thought he was a good rock jump- overer, so Peirce thought he could jump over the big rock. He made a leap and crashed head first into the rock. Right now he lay unconscious.

Peirce realizes now how much he misses his mother. He also realizes life is hard without someone to look after you, especially if you are just a fawn.

But, who is looking after him? No one is. Everyone who passes by thinks he is a regular fawn headed home. No one realizes who he is right now. No one can feel the emptiness inside.
