    The path had been dark and tangled for long enough that I was beginning to question whether I was on a path at all. My legs were sore and scratched and flecked with dirt up my ankles from the squelch, squelch, of plodding through what seemed like a lifetime of late autumn night. My fur bristled, as if the anger I felt at my own ineptitude could somehow cow lady Nature herself, so just this once she, not I, would press her ears back and show me mercy.

Jane grumbled to herself, sitting in her seat. She was ver...sFpone door

    The people you see on the sidewalk.

    If she could just wait a few more minutes, she was sure he would walk past her again - the man in the black coat whom she had come to associate with the rustle of paper (because he never put coins in her metal bowl the way everyone else did). He never looked at her either, but he always offered a little smile just the same, with the corner of his mouth; cool as the night breeze when the scorching sun's shift was over. Bright and beautiful as a new day when all hope seemed lost. He would have his coat buttoned up to his chin, his dreadlocked hair would hang carelessly over his face and he would...sFpone door
