The familiar clatter of paws on pavement sent a jolt of pleasure through Evelyn. Her neighbor's beagle, Winston, was once again attempting his escape. But today, she was ready.

She dropped her gardening shears, the urge to chase rising within her. It was a release, a surge of power.

She burst out of the back door, shouting with delight. Her legs propelled her forward with a surprising force. She felt alert, aware of every sound, every movement.

She followed Winston, laughing as he zig-zagged across her lawn. It was a feeling she’d forgotten she could have.
