Short story hook

12:18 PM

     Nico the cat, was hanging by one paw from the edge of the Sears Tower. He looked down upon the pack of rabid wolves beneath him, and shuddered. All he had wanted was that silly piece of cheesecake, and the wolf pack had chased him all the way to the top of the tower for it. One paw held the piece of delicate cheesecake, and the other held on for dear life. Suddenly a thought occurred to him, he could just drop the piece of cheesecake and the wolves would leave him alone. They would retreat and hopefully he could heave himself up onto the roof. But as he gently unclenched his paw, the other slipped too and before he knew what had happened Nico was plunging toward the ground.
