Intricate

Started this, but put it down - was getting late and too intricate.

Story:
Outside with the dog the other night, I heard strange, horrible, loud, crying or screaming sound- like a mixture of a very loud cawing crow, screeching hawk, and a crying baby. It was pitch black out, I was straining to see what was going on, I thought maybe the dog bit something that bit back, and was in trouble. My eyes finally adjusted a little and I could make out that it was a dark furry brown creature clamped in her jaws. I could see she was straining to apply more pressure to finish the job, but luckily it was too big for her to get the proper fix on- plus I was yelling at her to "DROP IT!" As she let go, it bolted like lightning through the gap in the fence. Though I couldn't see it clearly, I'm sure it was a rabbit, but never knew they could make such loud, horrible sounds, let alone any sound. In the morning I looked for blood or a body, but found neither; I hope that the injuries, if any, were minor, and that this one lived.
Ahh, nature...it's an intricate thing- sometimes it's a can't live with it, can't live without it.
