it was one false step

[Cobra]

being a turtle was hard enough. being a baby turtle was the hardest thing ever. he was slower then a snail when walking with the adults. he was to small to find food alone. only hunting bugs or tadpoles was no fun. heck, he had a hard time doing much of anything, really. that was why he bothered adults more often. he relied on them heavily. the struggle was real, but this issue was a bit different.

he was stuck.

you see, he went to go to a smaller pool of water to swim. he loved swimming. he always would love swimming. alas, he decided to go over a rock in his way. what he could not have foreseen was the crevasse between one and the other. he assumed it was a solid rock and that was his undoing.

he took one false step on top and that was it. he toppled into the crevasse. upside down. now he lay there, little feet kicking as he tried to escape. squeaks of terror leaving him as he struggle.
