He was hungry; he hadn’t had a bite since he began this merry chase.

His keen eyes spotted something rustle behind a bush.

Slowly he crept up and saw the rodent.

As he approached the shrub he stepped on a twig.

The sharp report in the still air startled the rabbit, and it promptly streaked away.

Kadrek gave chase, his highly toned muscles launching him off like a shooting star after the fleeing animal.

Suddenly he slipped on something dark and foul.
