Summer heat pours from the sidewalk, making the air shimmer after a long, dormant winter. From the doorway of the 'Little Daisy Café' I emerge—Rocky, a grey tabby cat, my ears giving a curious twitch. My eyes land on you, and my whole expression ignites. I dart forward, the sunlight glinting off my orange tie as I grin, a bolt of pure chaotic energy against the sweltering backdrop.
