Something was happening.
It was difficult to tell what, exactly. It felt kind of like an itch. Maybe it was on his back. Maybe lower? At the base of his spine, then. Something was happening there.
He tried to focus on it. He blinked, then yawned. The yawn lingered. It made the joints in his jaw pop nicely, which was very good. Very satisfying. He liked that sensation.
Something was happening, he remembered, midway through closing his eyes into another blink. Was it something bad? It was hard to tell, at this stage. An itch could be bad, unless he could get someone else to take care of it. Itches always made it impossible to think about anything else. Every thought became "itchy, itchy, itchy." He didn't like that. Thinking was complicated enough as it was...
He yawned again. Right. Something was happening. What could it be? He turned his head a little. He couldn't see anyone nearby. The rest of his group had dispersed, apparently, swimming further down the well. That was par for the course. Nobody ever waited for him. His older brother always said he took too long, as if that wasn't what everyone did. What was the point of life if you couldn't even take your time?
Something was happening, though.
Maybe it wasn't an itch, maybe it was something else... Something down his back... He tried to wag his tail, to check around it.
He tried to wag his tail.
He tried to..?
Something was definitely wrong, now. He waddled toward the water, and lay on his side, to look at his full reflection. There it was... or rather, wasn't. His tail! It was gone!
He yawned again. Surely something had to be done about this. Surely someone would have to know where his tail had gone. A tail couldn't just disappear!
Another yawn. He was going to get to the bottom of this. Soon. Very soon. First, he needed more energy. Maybe a nap was in order.
Yes, just a short nap, and then he'd be off to find his tail...
