Dark

The room was dark, no sound was heard. The child was wide awake now. It heard something crawling in its room.
'Who is it?" whimpered the child.
The thing got closer, inch by inch. The child let out its hand. The child thought it heard a purr. The child could hear things crashing, as the thing was bouncing around. It even jumped on the child's bed, but decided not to stay. The child was getting very anxious. It needed to find some light.
But the thing kept getting closer and closer.... The child thought it heard another purr.
"Could it be?" muttered the child out loud.
"Meow?"
The child grabbed for the light. The thing sprang into action!
"Kitty!" Yelled the child.
The child relieved, turned off the lamp and went back to it's bed. The cat jumped on the child's bed, purring loudly, next to the child's legs. The cat padded it's paws, still purring loudly, the cat plopped down, and closed it's eyes. The child closed it's eyes. 
And they both slept happily ever after!

    I wonder if the cat is black too like the one you had here.

    Happy Two Shoes Tuesday from the Philippines! ;o)

    This is a fun read, Joseph! As another kitty lover, I could so relate to this. Tiggy loves to play in our room at night, and then "thunk" and she's up on the bed, or walking over my head! I love it when they snuggle in and purr, I wish people purred with they were content! Great story, Joseph, this guy was braver than me, putting his hand out to find out what was waiting for him. I would have been under the covers!!

    Joseph...this was fun..we have all been through the sound in the dark that frightens us and then found out it was just a cat or something just as innocent. I enjoyed this

      Ya this story was kind of based on what happens to me sometimes. Although I sometimes hear noises when there are no cats in my room.... : /

Toy Cars And a New Computer!

Image
Look at all of my toy cars! I was just organizing them before I put them into a different box, but I had to move them a little early to make some roof for my new computer! So back into the box they went! I've always wanted to arrange my toy cars like this since I was a kid, when I would see them arranged like this in toy car collector magazines and books, I thought it looked pretty cool. Anyway I had to get a new computer because my laptop's screen finally went out and it was becoming slow. It would sometimes take couple of minutes to load a webpage, so I knew I had to get a new computer. I got a Lenovo from Microcenter. It's refurbished, but it looks and works like new. Microcenter also gives you a keyboard and mouse, but it doesn't come with a monitor unless you want one, but it will cost you  a little extra. The whole computer with keyboard and mouse cost a hundred dollars with thirty dollar shipping, very cheap and works better than my laptop.  The rea...

White Lies

She smiled through her white lies as she wandered from table to table. Being a waitress was not one of her funnest jobs and she didn't feel like explaining the menu to every single person. "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "IS THAT FOOD GREAT?" "WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?" "They are all good!" she would say with a wearied smile. She didn't think that the food was all that good though, except for maybe the hamburger, but even that wasn't all that great either and she wanted to tell the truth, but it was her only job and she didn't want to lose it. Wandering and wandering through the tables day in and day out. Until one day she collapsed and it happened, the pasta fell all over the man in the suits shirt. "I ordered the food to eat it, not wear it!" Said the man in the suit with a sarcastic tone to the waitress. The waitress looked at the man in horror. "I'll..I'll...clean it up" she ...
