"woah! steady!"
jay yelped, but there was a wide grin upon his maw. he was sitting inside a red flyer wagon, rolling down the sidewalk. there was something strange about this wagon, however ; despite the fact that it was extremely beat up, there was a small contraption on the back of it. it was some sort of sideways propeller that pushed against the concrete on the sidewalk and pushed the wagon forward, moving it at a considerably fast speed. the wagon wobbled from side to side and looked like it was about to break, but the feline who was riding inside seemed rather proud. "wait 'til nya sees- gah! slow down!" his voice squeaked slightly as the wagon accelerated rapidly ; it was going down a steep hill. jay ducked his head down, red-brown fur blowing, electric blue optics squinted against the wind. the wagon neared the bottom of the hill and a steep turn that the tabby knew he would never make. he muttered something under his up breath and ducked down. one of the front wheels hit a rock hard, and came loose, causing sparks to fly as the metal dragged against the concrete. the wagon toppled forward, sending jay flying ten feet away. he slammed against the ground and rolled down yet another hill, this time one in a forest. eventually, he hit his head on a rock and fell unconscious. his limp body came to a stop at the bottom of the hill.
a starving mother fox wandered by and caught sight of jay's limp form. eager to get food for her pups and believing that he was dead, she grabbed him by the scruff and slowly began dragging him away.
about an hour later, the fox was still dragging the unconscious tom, almost back to her den. suddenly, jay stirred. his eyelids fluttered and he jerked upwards, startled by the scent of the fox. "h-hey!" he jerked himself around, ripping himself free of her grasp and faced the fox. carefully, he nosed the blue bandana around his neck up over his nose and glared at the canine before him, claws unsheathed. too weak to fight, the fox scampered away. jay sighed weakly and allowed his muscles to relax, glancing around. where was he? this was nothing like his owner's pet shop downtown.
