In the following Chase offhandedly displays his brilliant writing
skills: vivid narrative description, a sense of place, sarcasm

" I awoke to find the sun making a green-and-gold sanctuary
all about me, a canyon-wren showering me with cascades of
plaintive melody, doves sympathizing from a dead branch
overhead, and numerous bumps on face and arms, with
