Whales On Stilts! (2005)
“On the street in front of Katie, houses were ablaze in a line. Black smoke churned into the sky. On either side of the road, flames slapped at the hedges.
The whale was gaining on her.
She could not go back.
She did the only thing she could: She skated even faster toward the burning block. The heat was unbearable. Everything was weirdly lit by the flames. She was getting closer to the houses.
The whale raised one leg high to stomp on her. She felt the whistle of air as its iron and titanium foo...t fell right behind her. The street rocked, and Katie almost lost her balance.
She knocked her skate on the road and sped up.
The whale raised his foot again— And Katie shot between the burning shrubs, her arms outstretched for balance.
The flames licked toward her fingertips, but she was not singed.
The whale, on the other hand, could go no further. She heard him bellow as the heat scalded him, heard him cough as the smoke pouring upward into the sky engulfed him.
She grabbed another street sign and swiveled again.MoreLess
