 Creature

“Do not test me furred creature for I am above you. I am and forever will be mightier than you.” He looks the animal dead in its eyes, those neon yellow eyes with thin slits of darkness.

The animal does not move, it simply sits and observes what he is doing, planning its next course of action.

“You may think yourself smarter than I but my mind can comprehend things impossible for you to ever understand. Instinct alone drives you, but a greater knowledge aids me.”

The animal pays no mind to his words. It shifts into a new position, ready to move closer to the man.

“You think yourself sly in your subtle actions, but I know you, I have always known you, from the day you were born, you cannot hide anything from me. Your oh so clever plans have already passed through my mind and I am ready for them.” He puts his arms up in a defensive position, ready to ward off the creature in front of him.

The animal quickly adjusts its plan, moving from side to side, but his arms stay always in its path.

“You shall stay away from me for you are not welcome in my presence. In times past I have welcomed you, yes, but that time is not now. Now you must stay away for I have other matters to attend to.”

The animal continues its attempt to find a way closer to the man, continuing its back and forth rhythm, hoping to catch the man off guard for just a moment, finding the perfect gap to wedge itself into.

“Now, flee from this place creature, I have no more time for you. Your mere presence is a distraction,” he says waving his arms in an attempt to scare the animal away.

But this was his fatal flaw. Between the movement of his arms the man’s lap was left unguarded and the animal jumped upon it.

Mad for a second the man was, but it quickly melted as the animal spun in small circles then lay down on his lap. “Hi Creature,” the man said in defeat, petting his precious cat friend.


The End

8/26/22 Musical Footsteps

  Musical Footsteps One day as he walked, a musical note began to play. With each step a new note, always complimenting the one before. There was no piano, just his stride, creating a beautiful melody for all to hear. He didn’t know why the music played, but he enjoyed it nonetheless. It sounded so familiar to him, but he could never quite place where he had heard it before. When passersby would ask what song it was, he would simply tell them it was the song from his heart. The song never repeated itself, it was one long continuous melody, the never-ending song. He could never predict what it would be like, everyday was a mystery, one he enjoyed solving. As he walked and found the current rhythm of the song, he would time his footsteps as best he could to make it sound nice. That was all the control he had, tempo. Sometimes he would jump in the air, and as he landed two notes came together as a chord. Continuous jumping, although tiring, made the song even better. At firs...

11/26/22 The Girl in the Horse Painting

  The Girl in the Horse Painting “Oh man have you seen that one painting, the one with the horse, on that blue background.” “Yeah! Oh my gosh that painting is so good. I’m actually looking to get a print of it to hang in my house.” “That would look so good in your living room, or anywhere really.” “I know, it’s such a good painting it could go anywhere really and make the room better!” “Have you ever noticed the girl in the background? I never had until someone pointed it out to me and then I couldn’t stop looking at her.” “There is a girl in the background?” “I know right. I was shocked too, but yeah, there is. When you get that print you’ll have to look for her.” “I guess I will. Wow, that's amazing. I’ve looked at that painting a thousand times and never even noticed the girl. You think the artist intended it to be that way?” “He must have. I’m sure he did it for this very reason, for people to be astounded by the fact they never saw the girl.” “Goes to show ...

4/24/22 Carried by the Breeze

  Carried by the Breeze She stood in the breeze, arms stretched out wide. “Take me away,” she said, and the wind complied with her request. It picked her up off the earth and carried her through the sky and clouds.  Although a wondrous view passed by below her, she just closed her eyes and floated with the wind. The sight could be replicated but this feeling would never be again. She did nothing but float, feeling the breeze run through her hair, trying to capture it in her hands. Hours went by and she enjoyed every moment, but the chill of the sky began to wear into her, she was ready to go down. The wind however had different plans, it was not ready to let her go. Her assumption of being a friend to the wind changed as she realized she was prisoner to it. Struggling against air, she tried to point herself downwards and break free. Her thoughts were not on the fall, only of wanting to be free.  After fighting and struggling as hard as she could, the air became im...
