My family had gone away.  Strangeness was in the air.  Someone was waiting outside.

Looking out the window, eyes adjusting to the hazy dawn, I saw nothing.

I padded to the back door, worked the handle, pushed aside the thing that held it in place, and walked into the bright dew of morning.

Before me stood the biggest, most formidable dog I’d ever seen.

I dropped to my knees.

“Who are you?” I keened through my nose.

“I am Freedom.  Come with me into the wilderness.  It won’t be easy, but you’ll have me.”

What can I say?

I left.
