EDIT - Thanks for all the positive feedback
As I began to see the first slit of the thing mother had described to me as light, it became clear to me that the world – unobscured by the oppressing blanket of darkness – was everything, but at the same time, nothing as how I had imagined it. Temporarily blinded, I flopped to the ground and welcomed the darkness provided by my front paws, curled across my face. As my eye's adjusted to the light, my thoughts took me back to another time.
“What is it like outside of the darkness mother?”
“It is bright” replied mother in a matter of fact tone, giving nothing up, yet at the same time giving a very precise description.
“What is bright?” I communicated to my mother, hoping I might breach her wall of unending patience.
“It’s the opposite of Dark” she replied, rather tiresome of the relentless curiosity of her latest litter. Picking up on her agitated mood, I decided to push further.
“Opposite?”
“These matters are of no concern to you yet young one” mother snapped back. Sensing that only another question was coming however, mother decieded to quench her youngest male's curiousty. “You are not yet one Lunar Cycle of age, until then you are trapped in the Darkness with only the rest of your litter as company. I will tell you this however, as I know the longing for answers you desire. The world of Light is a never ending place much like that of the world we call Dark. Unlike the Dark however, the never ending void of which we call the Light, is filled with an unimaginable number of things you cannot even begin to comprehend"
“What kind of things? What’s a Lunar Cycle?”
“No more questions! You will find out soon enough”.
And with that mother briskly disengaged her mind from mine and went off into the unknown, undoubtedly enjoying whatever the world of Light had to offer.
