Charlie's arrival changed everything.

A full moon spotlighted them as they buried their leathery white eggs.

"Name's Flint. I'm just across the way from you," the bear said.

The motorcycle roared like a jet.

Surfing ‘human free’ is another matter entirely.

Vader growled and slid down into the ditch.

A fat purple scar wandered along his cheek and disappeared under a grey nylon skullcap.

Something out in the ocean began to glow.

'You ever try to herd cattle in Australia? Huh?'

They crouched low as the men passed.

Fear stalks dogs just as it haunts people.

“I need you inside that second cage before someone hears us.”

“Its some kind of crazy surfing dogs.”

For a moment, with green eyes closed, he was only darkness.

It dangled, tail in the air, like a giant toddler about to go down a slide.

Then the commotion began.

“We are ghost trackers. Follow my lead.”

FIRST WATCH took every meeting seriously.

With dignity, Captain Kegun Hatsukami bent forward.

It was not a cry that any creature on that beach had ever heard.

Why, the black cat asked himself, should he bother with friendship?

They ran, tiny racecars headed for the sea.

Charlie’s life slowly became all tangled up in the roots of other lives.
