An Unexpected Friend
The small black cat walked back towards what was once a stack of cauldrons as if it understood Sandra’s question. Sandra quickly followed, careful of where her steps landed as to not trip or spook the cat. The creature led her to a slightly ajar window. -@mriottales

Push
The wave propagation made the ground shake, and she vibrated with it, too, but the loose sandy soil offered little resistance, making it feel more like resonating than shaking. Her body liked it; her ideas of Juan and the guilt trembled and escaped her conscience, so her blood began to feel warm again. The silvery moon looked at her soul with her one round, huge eye illuminating every secret, every regret. She felt naked and clean. -@marlyncabrera

What if cats ruled the world?
And so millions of humans did not notice how their violent habits were changing. Deforestation ceased, fights for territory were canceled, weapons were launched into space, animals that were used as guinea pigs were released into the streets. As well as many other things humans did without noticing it.

Porcelain Cats Give Advice?
The ritual was provided to her by a famous magician she met in Hungary. Although, she didn't quite understand the last part of the incantation, she had to continue it to the end. He did so, and waited the half hour to see its effect. But nothing happened. She went to sleep disappointed.
Eva never had premonitory dreams, but that night was different.

In Another Body
Once I tried to escape and almost succeeded, in an oversight of my captors I opened the door of the house and tried to run, but the wretched old man did not give me back the strength of my legs and I looked like a turtle in a marathon race. -@joseph1956

No Longer Home
I didn't tell anyone of my plan, I just carried on with the day as if everything was normal. When no one else was around, I hurriedly packed the little things I had into my bag. And I hid it. That was the good thing about being the only one cleaning the house. I had all the good hiding spots. -@bruno-kema
This story has both darkness and light. The darkness of the uncle's greed and cruelty. The light of the cousin's compassion and generosity. The story feels complete as the young man heads into his future. -@theinkwell
