Every attempt to move felt like scraping against a life that had forgotten she existed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"496\" data-end=\"1071\">She had learned to take up as little space as possible, curling her trembling body into the roadside dust, hidden beneath a suffocating mass of matted fur that no longer resembled the coat of a dog.<\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p data-start=\"1073\" data-end=\"1235\">She didn\u2019t look like a living creature anymore.

Even the wind seemed to pass her by without noticing. The world that had once been loud and busy had become silent around her, muffled beneath fear, hunger, and the heavy mats that pulled at her skin like anchors.<\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1940\">It could have ended there, quietly and without witness.

Someone saw movement where no movement should have been.
