Something unusual

Life moves on. People dash around, looking for opportunities to earn a profit. People busy striving to accomplish their tasks. Life often moves on at a phenomenal rate. Occasionally, something that stands out, make us stop in our tracks just to marvel at how unusual it is.

That day, I noticed a dog stealthily closing in on a small kitten with a sausage in its mouth. The dog is extremely huge, with muscles that looked as if they could tear apart the kitten with a single pull. Its teeth looked like huge knives and thick globs of saliva rained down on the floor beneath it. Suddenly, a cat that seemed to be the kitten’s mother sped in, mewing weakly. The dog growled ferociously, displaying an array of teeth. The adult cat did not back off. I was awed by its bravery because it was only slightly bigger than the kitten. Its hair stood up like rows of spikes and its eyes shone in a fierce and almost maniac manner. Wickedly sharp claws shot out of its paws. As it advanced, I noticed that it was so shinny it was basically a walking skeleton, but somehow looked so scary that I could detect signs of fear in the dog’s narrow eyes. But that disappeared momentarily and the dog charged forward. The cat fought like it was possessed, swinging its paws in deadly arcs, mauling the dog.

Eventually, the dog ran off with its tail between its legs. And, the cat walked off with the kitten. I felt so moved that I clapped my hands, sending a salute at the brave and noble mother cat.
