“The Matrix is
everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can
see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your
television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to
church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been
pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.”
Ms. Valerie Frizzle, The Magic Schoolbus* #quote
Today I fixed something that ain't broke. Anyway onto the flash
fiction!
The Cat Is Out Of The Bag
“We tried to contain him in the bag Sir,” Officer Dog said to
Senator Elephant, “But it seems the Cat escaped the Bag.
Senator Elephant leaned over to look Officer Dog in the eyes, the
cloth of his suit straining on his massive form. “I won't forget
this mistake Officer Dog. We will all suffer if you don't catch him.”
Officer Dog tried not to pant in stress. He needed to catch that Cat
now that it was out of the bag.
The Cat gleefully laughed as he ran through the city. Blackmail
documents in hand, they may have bagged him once, but he'll certainly
get his money's worth out of authority figures soon enough. His
whiskers tended to twitch when money was in the air and a scheme
would pay off...and boy did they twitch!
His whiskers froze when the sirens blared. He cut inside an alley
way. How many squad cars did he hear? Twenty? Did they deploy everyone on duty after
him?
The Cat dashed up a chain link fence when he heard the familiar
barking of Officer Dog to freeze. Like he would listen to him. He'd
been chased by that mutt enough. The cat dropped the blackmail photos
in shock when he turned the corner and saw that Officer Dog served
merely as a distraction.
“You made some powerful people angry,” The Lion said with his
bullet proof vest and weapons on full display. The bounty hunter of
the jungles, both iron and wood, would never be stopped if a paycheck
was involved. “How painful does this have to be?”
The Cat went back into the bag.
