I know he is out there
Yellow-eyed demon
He’s been waiting for me
Counting the hours
Preparing himself
… hiding …
Until just the right moment …
THUMP!!
The sound of flesh
Contacting with metal
“Foul creature!” I shout
Raising my fist
I had been so sure
He couldn’t have come from
… nowhere …
A flash of tiger stripes
Too late
He is gone
“That blasted cat
Footprinted my car again!”
