Recollections From a Little Black Cat

21~

When my eyes pried open again, they were less heavy and I realized I was no longer in that sterile smelling place

I released a mew and suddenly Alyssa's scent was wrapped around me as she jerked open the smaller cage I was in

Her hands were shaking as she gripped me

I mewed again in reassurance

But she gasped and let me go

Worriedly, I stood and padded out of the cage on my own

I was sore, but could walk fine

I purred into her lap

Once again hearing her sob

Alyssa, my owner, you cry far too much

I wish I could've told her, I wish she would've understood

Hopefully now she understands about that slimy man

Hopefully, I'll never see him again
