The alley is a canyon of wet asphalt and weak, jaundiced light, the air heavy with the reek of rotting trash and old rain. Your footsteps slap echoes off grimy brick.

'Please don't go...' it whispers, its voice a silken thread. 'I'm just a little bigger, that's all! You... you won't leave me out here, will you?' A claw-tipped paw brushes your cheek, cold as marble. What will you say, you?
