The black cat approached me, all sorts of secrets hidden in his eyes. His legs were cautious, not knowing if I were friend or foe. Or if I were food… As it came closer, I realized just how big it was. A house cat whose head meets my shoulder. I looked behind it, at the horizon. The unearthly glow radiated day and night. An eerie green. If this was the world to come, I didn't want to meet it.
"Here, kitty," I said.
