Tadpole

PUSS!!

Smash. Bang. Her croaky voice echoes throughout the night.

PUSS!

Wrinkly hands against secured doors. She searches in agony. Where is she? Where could she be?

PUSS

I am home alone. A lady outside rummages from door to door. Intrudes every private property in search of her feline friend. She, in literal words, is scaring the shit out of me.

Thunderous banging vibrates against my own house door. It is now my turn. Isn't it?

PUSS! WHERE ARE YOU??

My heart pounds in rhythm with her banging. I just silently hope that she assumes no one is home. Hope that she will give up soon.

Silence.

Is it over? It must be.

BANG!

Why did it sound like she just slammed her whole being against my door? Do I call the police? Do I call my parents? What good will it do?

There are cat ladies and there are lonely ladies. I wonder what she looks like. I wish I was able to have the guts to help her look for her cat.

There is real silence now. She's gone.

I hope she found her cat.

Until next time.

  2. Ahaha! Please don't think I'm laughing at you being scared, but THAT-WAS-GOLD! Now YOU'VE made MY day. I'm all good, nothing I haven't had to deal with before. Thanks again, you're sweet as hell. By the way, did the creepy lady come back?

  3. Hell hath no furry like the cat lady searching for one of her kin. I'm sure it could have been snowing and she would still be out there.

    And thanks again. You did.

  5. First off let me begin by saying a few words. Ew. Ew. Ew. EW! Tadpoles WERE cute in my mind, and they do turn into frogs, and frogs ARE animals, true ... but I still think you cheated:P

    What I liked about the bag is that it didn't give up. It was patient.

  6. THAT sounds cute. It was the thought of the tadpoles and the ... anyway, I like the sound of the baby frog better :)

  7. Well, you shouldn't need to apply patience if you don't have to. And I think my thoughts of baby frogs are left intact. I don't think I'll be able to look at any tadpoles again as long as I live without thinking of you, though.

  8. Haha! No, don't worry about that, I would never ask anyone curb their immaturity. Not when it's funny at any rate. But you are too good to me. However, I guess I can live and hope. And don't worry, you've made me blush some time ago already.
