For a chilling moment, Janice felt Oscar’s eyes on her back. Nearly frozen with fear, she managed to steal a glance, and there he was, eyes narrowed on her, ready to pounce. Heart and mind raced — even if her feet would not — is it too far to the dryer?
Then the image resolved. The stealthy tabby became a pile of beach towels thrown in a haphazard lump beside the washing machine.
Safe and warm beside the dryer duct, filled with gratifying relief, Jan returned to nibbling the dob of peanut butter she’d found in the corner, so close to home.
Until the trap snapped shut.
