The dog awoke, feeling more uncomfortable than usual—which was saying something, given that he was chained to a dilapidated box the size of a grocery cart. The world seemed off, the neighborhood quiet, even the woods behind him hushed—like everything waited. He shifted uneasily, sniffed the air. What was that? He brought his head up and inhaled deeply.

Something about the odor nudged a memory from his mind, of a time when life held promise, when he’d fully embraced the naïve enthusiasm that came with puppyhood.
