    Gun shots in the distance, dogs barking from of police sirens, the sound of footsteps asphalt. Hiding under my sleeping bag breathing hard I think to myself, “how the heck did we move from a safe neighborhood to this shit town?” Rolling myself over on my hands and knees off my makeshift bed I carefully listen to my surroundings -- nothing.

    used to be Phil’s goddamn fault but now it’s clear that the devil walks the earth. Phil was my boyfriend, was, when he bought a grey shorthair kitten, Russian Blue, and called him Diablo. We were Phil and Shane: crazy, almost in love, and young. I lived in Albuquerque; he lived in Cloud Croft three hours south, the only mountains of New Mexico I hadn’t been.
