'HE hated it here'. A thought lingering Aegir's mind as a visible scrawl imprinted on his lips.
He felt his skin getting itchy and irritated his fur glistened in sweat as the sweltering heat torture his being. Why the hell is the sun so hyped today? The heat's making him lazy. But he wants to eat and his appetite shouldn't be neglected.
He waved his tail from left to right as he wandered around the busy streets of New Gorgon, finding a place where there was plenty of food.
He's sick of eating scraps and chasing mice and birds that will tire him out, the old fat lady he used to steal food from always eats delivered food from fast-food, never leaving her house like she's scared of something that she wouldn't even bother to buy groceries. Call him choosy but he hates fast-food except the burger he stole from the weird guy. No fish. A big x to kitties like him.
"Where to? " he asked himself as he stared at his surroundings; big tall buildings and stalls and humans holding their smartphones eating or drinking coffee and 'milk tea' as they walked, unaware of animals waiting for them to drop their scrap to the big black bins to ease their hunger.
Aegir stopped walking as he intently stared at the plastic cup of 'milk tea' in the grasp of a young Cheian looking guy wearing a cheap black suit with a tomato colored tie. Making him look like a clown in fancy yet still cheap clothes.
Does milk tea taste good? Is it good like regular milk? Licking his lips, he stopped himself from drooling. He wishes to have a chance to take a sip but stealing something that's spilling just doesn't work.
He found himself stopping the temptation to rub his face on the human's legs and purr, hoping that the human would give him milk tea. Or else, he'll find himself getting hurt and waste his time grooming himself to erase the dirt from the human's dirty shoe imprinted on his fur.
Licking dirt isn't fun. It tastes like hell. It's hard to become a cat, they hate to bathe yet suffer from grooming themselves.
One of the many reasons why he despises humans is that they are greedy, they take so much more than what they could consume. They'll waste resources and food just because they want it but in the end, they'll throw it all away when they aren't satisfied. They don't respect other species that are more in need of the things they want but not need.
His theory proved to be true when the Cheian guy threw the plastic cup along with the remaining contents of the milk tea on the road and left, not minding that he wasted food and did not throw his waste properly.
He sighed. Humans are hopeless creatures.
"I'm hungry, so hungry. " Licking his lips he stretched his limbs. He scratched his ears using his right foot and yawned.
'Food, food, food. Just fucking come to me. ' Can someone just give him some?
"Hey, arf! " His thoughts got interrupted by an annoying sound coming from his back.
He sniffed the air as his nose registered a luscious smell coming from that direction making his stomach growl in hunger.
"I see, you're hungry. You could get half of my hunt, arf~ssu! Fish is your favorite? " A brown-colored street dog welcomed his sight as he turned around. He's smiling goofily at him, saliva dripping from his mouth as he bit his catch: a grouper.
Looking back at the saliva, he could feel his insides scream disgust. Even though the grouper sure looks appetizing, the liquid coating doesn't.
The dog looked at him expectantly as its round chocolate brown eyes blinked; approaching him little by little, he stepped back. "You want it~ssu? I will give it to a pretty kitty like you, " the dog's voice sounded so charming like someone who'd want to date him.
The dog even winked at him. Winked! WINKED! What the actual fuck?
Feeling nervous, he licked his paw and meowed anxiously. "I-ummm...Thank you..." Before he could finish, the dog advanced again and started to pick his right hand, on bended knees it dropped the fish on the ground then it gently planted a soft kiss on the back of his hand.
What the cat's hell is happening? He knew this dog is 100% male and so is he. Is the dog blind enough not to notice his "son" in between his tights?
"Uhmm...Thanks but no thanks. Instead, where did you hunt the fish? " he laughed timidly as he saw a hint of hurt in the dog's eyes, its canines flashed from its mouth making a shiver run down his spine.
He did say that he wants someone to give him food but now all he could say is: Abort wish, abort!
He could hear the gossips of the humans around them, seemingly interested in his interaction with the dog. Some even flash their phones on them; he bet that they only want to share the humans called "video" on their "social media" and gain something without paying them anything in return. Greedy.
The dog even bowed and kissed his feet; crying, seemingly like he doesn't give a damn and all he cares about is the cat in front of him. The cat, on the other hand, is getting annoyed and wants to escape; adding a little force to his kicks to the dog's face. He wanted to add more force but he might get rabies if the dog decided to bite him.
"Date me, kitty~ssu! Date me!" It continued to kiss his feet; begging, making the cat scoff and raise his brow.
It's the nth time that this same scenario's happening to him. The first one was an ugly cat with lots of fungi and scars.
He remembered how it begged him saying, "Join my harem, mi cherry! And you'll like the roof pleasure every night! "
The recent one was a bull and he remembered how he desperately ran away because the bull tried to sniff the hell out of him, it looked like a "drug addict".
And now...
Can someone help him escape?! He doesn't want this! He only wanted food, not this!
A visible frown decorated Anthony's face as he grudgingly sat on a white and red satin-decorated chair, on his lap was his infamous writing notebook and a black pen.He wanted to write again, but how can he do it if he couldn't concentrate? He doesn't want to be here! To be in a lavish room decorated with satin and ribbon, attended by people who wore branded clothes and expensive jewelry; drinking wine in their glasses, chit chatting as they waited for someone to step in the small stage in front and deliver a speech in the gemelina wood podium.He doesn't belong here. Why would an awkward mess with raven uncut hair, wearing only a cheap synthetic leather brown jacket and a pair of denim jeans that he got from a bargain shop be here?"Auntie, can I go home a
A sing-song voice could be heard in the dead of night. Slow footsteps kissed the asphalt road of the heavily silent streets of Yaki. Only the two blinking street lights gave hope amidst the blinding darkness and only the human carrying the said tune gave life to the emptiness. Humans living in the area were already slumbering on their beds as time pointed its hand at 2 am, already past midnight. Tap. Tap. Tap. The sound of clicking added to the serene band. A man could be seen hovering his hands over his phone. He stopped singing. Fast tappings could be heard, then he stopped as he pressed a red button. "You're dialing Idol Saint..." "The number you have dialed is unattended. Please try again later. " "C'mon, Saint! Answer the damn phone! I changed my mind, I still don't want to go home. I need someone to talk to. " He dialed the number again only to receive the same reply. He tsk
ALL he could do was to shake in fear. He wanted to meow and cry but he couldn't. He should remain silent, praying that the darkness in the alley could conceal him from them; the darkness would somehow make him forget that beside him were two bloodied cadavers. He also hoped that they would not notice him as they did to the kittens weeping inside a plastic bag. Why did he choose to hide here from the dog? This is too much. 'Someone, save me. ' The air smelled rusty, from all the blood that had spilled. Shards of debris and garbage scattered to the ground from the broken wall and garbage chute. The clang of two metals colliding continuously, creating tension. Each blow promised a threat of death to each other as they swung a huge sword made of platinum; sweating and grunting heavily due to the weapon's weight and force needed to exert for defense and offense. It's dark and no
RED neon lights blinked repeatedly as loud music and cheers accompanied by people dancing to the beat of the music like a wild animal in heat. The place stinks of liquor, smoke, sweat, perfume, and ladies cosmetics mixed to create a smell familiar to those night owls enjoying the fun at night. In a table, far from the dance floor sat a man drinking his fourth shot of mojito, face focused as his hands scribbled on his notes. He didn't wish to be here again, but after the commemoration, they invited him to an 'after party night' and he couldn't say no because his aunt is there. He's waiting for she'll get drunk then leave her alone. It's his fifth time writing the same concept again but every time he tries to create the narration, he feels dissatisfied. Maybe it's because he's not in the right mind? Or the plot seems too personal?
A ting sound could be heard from the small white microwave oven placed on a tiled kitchen counter. A veiny hand of a man wearing colored blue mittens with a blue cat print could be seen turning off the microwave. His lips curved as he opened the microwave and got what he cooked. Anthony's smile gets wider as his nose registers the aroma of his creation: Baked macaroni. The more he smells, the more he can feel his mouth water and stomach grumble in hunger.He slowly places his mac on the counter as he ties his hair using the band his hand once wore into a 'messy' man bun, he's too lazy to comb it and he's too lazy to visit a barber to have his hair cut. He then blew the remaining hair strands that covered his face. He smiled afterward when he felt satisfied."Now I can eat and watch my favorite show! " He excitedly uttered to himself as he grabbed his baked mac and proceeded to exit the kitchen.'There's
Unbeknownst to him, Aegir is also staring at him, reminiscing the same memory he'd been thinking.Aegir whimpered. The cold water from the rain seems to be seeping through his skin.He could feel the terrorizing shivers that chills him to the bone. In his secured arms are two kittens: Tibby and Tabby, who unlike him, are noisy and crying.He doesn't even know if he's crying because of the coldness that makes him feel numb. The same coldness he always feels whenever he lies in the cold cement of his alley—the freezing feeling of sadness.'Maybe it's better this way—it's always this way. ' he thought as he blinked his tired eyes at the surroundings.<
A MAN is currently drawn in deep concentration as he moves the joystick of a claw machine. His white polo shirt sleeves were tucked revealing his bare hands decorated by visible veins, his brow crumpled as his sweat bathed him—but he didn't care...he's trying to analyze where he would put the claw so that he'll get the prize he wanted. Left. Right. North. South—he's contemplating, eyes blazing as if he'll kill the machine any minute.He set his target into a colored pink cat plushie. The plushie holds an angry expression but is still very cute. "C'mon! " He pressed the red button, releasing the claw. It slowly descended on his target then it picked his target, ascending.He could feel his hands getting wet as he anticipated winning the prize. His brows furrowed, lips biting in excitement. He shouted a fiery, "
THEY'RE inside an antique looking vibe building. All of their belongings (like Anthony's stuffed toys) are placed in a nice locker. The building's interior is colored gold and brown with classic flower patterns carved into its pole and walls. There's also hanging photos in the same motif frame of strange eerie symbols of violet stars, creepy looking animals, and flowers depicted like some sort of monsters with big gnashing mouths and large bulging eyes. A large mirror placed at the side of one of the frames gave it a more distinct creep when someone suddenly decided to look at his reflection after viewing the pictures. In the center lies a red sofa and a glass center table. The sofa is so red that one might think it's made from blood. Apart from its color is the weird placement. Why in the middle? Is it to give a better access to the 'piece of arts'? But one thing is certain, it gave chills to both Anthony and Saint that they
