The shadow rose up and took form. It was the pumpkin-toned cat that I had seen earlier. I had no idea how it had gotten in, but there it was. It was very large for some reason. Or I was very small. It was all a bit frightening, but for the assurance that I was somehow special. So I stuck to that, asking, “Why should I have some special destiny?” The cat actually grinned, which was a bit chilling, and replied, “You are destined to be my dinner. There is nothing special about you, other than you are slow and stupid. I’m toying with you. But don’t worry about it. When I’m done, you, as a whole, will still be you, but a tiny bit less slow and stupid.” Then it struck me with one paw, with the claws out, piercing me, coloring the paw red. And that was all I remembered later, when I really woke up and realized it was just a dream. But it seemed so real.
