Ugly


Shyness exudes from an overwhelmed puppy. She bows her head to shield from the crowds. Don't lift your head up, pup, don't lift your head. She perks her ears, but can only hear a whisper. Don't lift your head up, pup, don't lift your head. She raises her eyes and feels the stares. They burn her fur and expose her skin. They watch as she lies on a blistering metal surface. Don't lift your head up, pup, don't lift your head. She lifts her head and faces her opponents, but they turn to dust and she gingerly carries on. Explore the misadventures of a flawless realm. Each world has its own sky.
