The Black Cat

I walked alone
on an empty street.
Nothing comforted me but the sound of my feet
hitting the pavement at a steady beat.
Followed by a black cat,
I cut down an alley.

I took a step,
I fell!
Deep down into a different world,
a world where sun rays never dare dance.
I was under the city.
In a deep dark cavern.
I was surrounded by things,
that go bump in the night.
Bugs, Rats, and Mice.
I looked up at the sun graced world,
how am I to escape?

My eyes widened as I realized,
a boy now stood where the cat once stood.
He threw me rope,
I eagerly climbed.
"Thank you, where have you come from?
You appeared as if magic"
The boy smiled at me,
then turned and walked away.

I looked towards him
about to ask again where he come from,
but he was gone!
I looked around.
He was no where to be found.
I was startled by the sound of a cat,
I looked down.
Behold!
The cat that followed was there at my feet.
I picked him up
"Glad to see you too"

I walked home.
