Rainsinger
“She surfaced groggily, wondering what in the world was going on. A small, baby yap yanked her into total awareness and she sat up.
Percival!
Tossing off her covers, she grabbed her robe and hurried out of her room. “Percival,” she called quietly. A rosy dawn was just touching the sky, and Winona didn’t want to awaken the others. “Come on, sweetie. I’ll take you out.”
The puppy was housebroken, but hadn’t yet developed long-term control. He seemed to have a horror of newspapers, and twice each n...ight, she had to get up to take him out. She didn’t mind. They couldn’t leave him outside all night to wander, or coyotes might get him.

Not in the living room or kitchen. Faintly, she heard another small yap, and followed it out the back door. The scene that greeted her made her stop dead, one hand frozen on the tie of her robe, her feet bare in the soft, powdery dirt beyond the porch.
Overhead, the entire sky was a deep, almost violent shade of pink, laced with the pale blue-gray of high, wispy clouds.MoreLess
