Welcome to Gaia! ::

I missread "sub-forum" for "thread" ...sorry. When does judging begin ?



My bad day.

A long time ago in a home far far away.

Da DaDaDa ...]hums the intro[


Once there was a cat, well, there still is, anyway this cat wasn't all it seemed, at least not on that day.

Stryker, I named it for its crazy kitten ways of attacking your feet for no reason. Stryker was all grown up now and as lazy as can be.
So, one day I was thinking a name change might be in order since obviously he wasn't the insane little fur ball he used to be. I was going through the thesaurus
trying to find kewl sysnonyms to use for my fat cat. Before I found anything it was time to bring him in because its winter and we can't let him stay out and freeze.
I opened the door to find him right there, but he was ignoring me and looking at the wall. I called to him but he wouldn't move, I shook his favorite snack bag and still nothing,
so I went out to grab him and still without looking at me he hissed and ran off. "That was odd" I thought, but I figured he'd be back in a hour or so (He always was.)
Every fifteen minutes I checked and nothing. My dad was getting worried that we'd have a little kittysicle on our porch the next morning. Time came and went,
it was now around 12:45 a.m. and I checked once more beofore bed and still nothing.

The next morning when dad went to work the cat was outside waiting to come in like always except a few differences. He usually begs for treats and rubs up against you like theres no tomorrow,
but not this time. He walked calmly to the couch and sat on the cushion which was also odd because he never sits there. We all thought it strange but paid no mind to it. Around 10:30 a.m.
While I was messing around on Gaia, I heard what I swore was a cat fight in the living room, so I ran out and Stryker was starring at me with no other cats to be found. I spent around a half hour
looking for some evidence of other cats but failed. Although I had notice Stryker watching me the whole time. Now I had been drinking alot, I mean alot, that morning, I went through 16 cans of Cream Soda by 1, and naturally I had to use the restroom.
While sitting there I heard some scratching by the door and I was quite shocked to see Stryker's face right there starring under the door. His eyes were unnaturally large and it was quite
frightening to be honest. I looked down, then back up and Stryker was gone. It took ten mintues to build up courage to open the door and when I did, shivers ran down my spine.
Stryker was sitting on the banister right in front of the door. I quickly closed the door and sat down. What scared me the most was that I could swear Stryker was smiling.
After a while, I heard him jump down so I waited a few more mintues then opened the door very cautiously and looked around. "The coast is clear" I slowly tiptoed to my room ]crrreeaaakk[
"s**t, the damn floor is against me" I ran into my room, which the door was always closed so I know he wasn't in there. I took some deep breathes to calm when I heard that cat fight again.
I wanted to know what the hell was going on but didn't wan't to go out there. The fight seemed to get louder and louder untill it was like, right outside my room.
I quickly opened the door to find only Stryker and again, no evidence of a fight. Stryker WAS smiling, this time I was sure of it. I closed the door and just sat there for maybe an hour.
Dad came home and I heard the cat meow and beg for his treats.. "WTF?" I went out to find him acting as he always had. After his treats he went atop the couch like normal and went to sleep.

Time past, and bed time for my parents was here. As I said good night and they closed their door I glanced over to see Stryker Starring again with that horrible smile. I ran into my room and stayed there for about 36 hours.
Stryker has never acted that way again (thank god) and I will never drink 16 sodas again either.



PS. I had to write this on notepad since Word doesn't work, and I don't feel like going through and making all the lines nice and neat.

Based on a true story..
