Silent Cat

A story of a feline's natural instinct twisted in a Poe-like style.

The Silent Cat

Crawling, step by step, through the dew-kissed vegetation

Not taking to mind it's loneliness

The cat just stands there

On its haunches, purring in anticipation

For the ignorant life that would soon come its way

As the pale moon casts a light across the land

The feline catches a scent, the scent of an animal

The cat locks on to its prey

It's heart beats in anticipation as races for the hunted

Nature's predator has caught up to its hunt

The cat purrs in the face of its prey's sounds of worry

The prey is cornered and the cat lifts it paws, claws extended

There is a moment of silence as the claws slash and end the animal's life

The cat then cleans its claws and carries its prey towards its home.
