Chevy exhaled sharply, and looked around for an escape. She found it at a dead end. Trash was stacked high, nearly all the way up to the top of the chain link fence that blocked it off. She tore down the alley, and leaped up high onto the pile, sinking down only a bit. She scrambled to the highest point, then used her strong hind legs to launch herself over the fence, landing heavily on her side. Pain radiated from her ribcage, and it temporarily paralyzed her.

"Open your blessed wings
And wrap them around all your things
Keep yourself in the company of kings
Cause it's their hands that bleed from the strings"

That hoary cripple, with malicious eye
Askance to watch the working of his lie
On mine, and mouth scarce able to afford
Suppression of the glee that pursed and scored
Its edge at one more victim gained thereby.
