I'm Sylvester, a cat.
I live on the streets.
One sees, and experiences, a lot here.
Your mind can play tricks on you.
For instance, Saturday, passing near a ballroom, I saw a white creature in some bushes.
Mother always warned us about goblins, saying they were worse than coyotes, though she never said what they looked like.
I watched the bushes, ready to run if need be.
There was no need.
It was a silly rabbit, and as it dashed across the lawn it looked over its shoulder, in my direction, with a look of terror on its face.
-------------------------------
This story was inspired by my last edition of Seen & Heard:
Seen and Heard 7: Paranoid, or Safety Conscious?
It is unknown whether the Rabbit actually saw a Cat, but if he DID...this COULD have been what happened, from the Feline Perspective. ;-D
It will be submited to 100 Word Stories Weekly Challenge #219 which is a Podcast hosted each week by it's brainchild, the one and only Laurence Simon, Catblogger, Founder of Carnival of the Cats, podcaster, and short-short story writer extraordinaire.
The Human with Cats who used to blog at Blog d'Elisson, but recently moved to a new place, lock, stock, and Pussycat, called Lost in the Cheese Aisle, is one who has even written a book full of such 100 Word Stories.
This, dear reader, is just the first of many, in a writing effort I call "100 Word Cat Stories". Check out the Archive! ;-D
Welcome to the world of super-short fiction!
Thanks for mentioning my move.
I look forward to seeing you at my new site!
