Wild kittens

Sitting along the side of the driveway, three kittens (wild), eyes glowing from the headlights of his parent's truck, being sneaky. He tries, briefly, to wrangle them, but the tall grass is not in his favor; he hears them flopping, sees the tops of the grass move like currents, tops whole worlds in motion.

On the way back, they're running down his driveway; he sinks mid-calf in the cold water of a recent flood, trying to get to them (he has snacks in his hand; kitty treats), and finally decides to leave a bowl of food out for them.

In the morning, it's gone.
