.....I'm fully aware I have a problem... who left me unsupervised???? I'm not even writing descriptions anymore at this point... I give up.... this is fine.....

[Preview] I moved further into the alley and peered behind the dumpster. My heart fell as I strained to see through the darkness and spotted a bright orange cat that appeared to be hurt. It was barely conscious, it's strange heterochromatic orbs struggling to stay open. "Sh. It's alright." I slowly extended my hand toward the cat. It let out a hiss but seemed too injured to move away from me. I couldn't reach it and had to push the dumpster out of my way. The ginger cat flinched and tried to get up to run. A yowl of pain escaped it and it fell back over, too weak to move. "I won't hurt you." I tried to reassure the frightened cat as I gently scooped it up and tucked it against my body trying to shield it from the rain. There weren't any emergency vets anywhere nearby nor a local vet open at this hour. I'd have to try and do what I could at home until I could get it to a vet. The cat slipped from consciousness as I carried it home.
