premise: The scene caused my body to pause , frozen in time at something about which I was not quite yet able to understand . I was close enough to make out fat shiny tears falling from where I knew his glassy blue eyes were focused on the injured bird . An intense pain was radiating from his face at the bird 's discomfort , engulfing the field like a thick dark fog . What may be the reason for your body 's freeze ?
hypothesis: An animal had sustained an injury .
