Kaltoum and the Western Sun

Kaltoum, an autumn-colored vixen, repeatedly watches the western sky in hopes that the sun will rise from the wrong direction to make dew sink back into thirsty bluebells. Observing her silent longing, a tiny field mouse named Rune offers quiet companionship and berries. Ultimately, Kaltoum accepts the natural order of the world, realizing that dew evaporates into clouds rather than returning to the petals.
