Sister, why do you do that?Do what?Cage the animals at night?Well... She looked up and out through the barred window before answering me.We don't want to, Jennings, but we have to. You see, the animal...
She smiled a wonderful smile and pinched my cheek.
My friend Doggie was gone, and I never even got a chance to say good-bye to him for keeps.
It’s the rules! he snapped. They cage the animals at night! It’s the rules.
The table and chair legs were like bars of the cage around me. This time they weren't keeping me in, they were keeping her out.
