I wonder how
much of history would have changed if Einstein combed his hair
differently. Anyway onto the flash fiction!
A Cartoon
Game Of Cat And Mouse
The cartoon cat
chased the mouse through the house. He tried to whack him and missed
and the mouse whacked him instead. He managed to get in a hit after a
bit more of chasing and whacking. He tried some traps to get the
mouse, but they failed and they ended up in his cartoon body getting
crushed, twisted and pulled before moving back into place. And also
whacked.
The violent
shenanigans of the two continued day in, and day out as cat chased
mouse. However in one moment, when the cat was making a trap for the
mouse that required more thought than most his mind wandered. What if
he had more to do than chase the mouse? His supposed owner hardly
talked to him. He didn't remember eating or drinking all that often.
Why was the dog only sometimes in the house? Why did he and the mouse
suddenly wind up in different locations, like an opera house? Why did
the house layout change? The world started to not make not all that
much sense.
Then the mouse
obnoxiously taunted him, and the cartoon cat grew angry, swiftly
going back to his work. He vowed to catch the mouse this time. And
hopefully not get whacked.
