A cat emerges from the bushes
Its fur is black as coal
Its yellow eyes,
seem to stare right through me
As I walk it begins to follow me with its eyes
When I walk faster it started to step closer
I turn around.
The cat stops.
I continue to walk
I can sense the cat growing closer.
I turn around again.
Where did it go?
The cat is gone.
I think about how I connected with the cat
It seemed as though it could read my mind.
When I turn back around to walk I see the cat!
There it is
Right in front of me
How did it get there?
Holy Crap this cat is something special
Then all of a sudden it lets out a puurr.
Then a meow, followed by a loud honk!
A honk?
I close my eyes & open them again.
The cat is gone, & there is a car 5 ft in front of me honking
Behind the windshield I can see the driver flailing her arms about
"Sorry!" I yelled.
And got out of the way
That night I was thinking about the cat I saw that day
Did I really see it?
Was it never really there?
Will I ever see it again?
