  11. A baseball bat was leaning against a wall. A Louisville slugger. I slid toward it, Fido hanging from my arm like a very ugly charm bracelet. Picked it up with the hand that wasn't being eaten. Whacked Fido across his haunches. Just hard enough to get his attention - not enough to really hurt him. Okay, so I'd broken into his home but he didn't have to amputate my arm.
  12.  
  13. "Arm..." Fido growled quietly, released, and dropped.

  19. A neat semicircle of puncture holes marked my wrist. A little blood dripped toward my elbow. Bat under my injured arm, I grabbed an old T-shirt off the bed. Wrapped it around my wrist.
