jaws
raze
he
made
himself
a
shorthaired rolling pin
and
flattened
out
the
grass
.
he
ended
up
wearing
some
of
what
the
city's
riding
lawnmowers pruned
and
spat
back
onto
the
vast
green
beard
it
came
from
.
cheryl
told
me
what
happened
.
i
don't
know
if
they
were
in
a
different
park
or
if
she
was
walking
him
close
to
home
,
but
a
boxer
who
was
off
-leash
came
out
of
nowhere
and
bit
into
him
like
he
was
some
kind
of
chew
toy
with
feet
.
he
wouldn't
let
go
.
i
don't
know
much
about
boxers
,
she
said
.
but
i
guess
when
they
bite
,
they
really
clamp
down
.
and
i
thought
,
i
can
tell
you
all
about
boxers
.
they
abandon
their
jab
to
fight
in
a
phone
booth
when
they
should
be
controlling
distance
.
half
the
time
they
don't
do
a
damn
thing
their
trainers
tell
them
to
.
but
that's
a
different
kind
of
fighter.
this
one
was
a
dog
,
and
he
was
killing
her
black
lab
,
because
he
was
too
gentle
to
defend
himself
.
all
he
did
was
cry
. alex
forced
her
fist
inside
the
boxer's
mouth
and
went
to
work
on
him
until
he
relaxed
his
grip
.
he
tore
the
shit
out
of
her
hand
.
cheryl
said
she
needed
stitches
.
but
that's
what
you
do
when
someone
you
love
is
in
trouble
.
you
dive
into
danger
and
hit
it
in
the
face
until
it
falls
down
or
backs
off
,
and
then
you
hit
it
again
.
even
if
you're
bleeding
.
even
if
it
hurts
you
.
that
way
it'll
think
twice
about
coming
back
.
