Shouldn’t have pulled her tail.
Her name was Keera. First saw her three years ago. Someone was walking past me. Black umbrella. Green striped polo shirt. A man. He was walking past me. Saw her approaching figure. Black hair. White socks. She was drenched.
She was walking in the rain. Aren’t we supposed to run in the rain? She was walking. Confused. Remembered someone walking past me with a black umbrella and green striped polo shirt just now. Black-umbrella-man was holding the umbrella up. Black-umbrella-man was walking. Aren’t we only supposed to walk in the rain when we have an umbrella?
She slowly walked towards me, her black hair and white socks drenched. Was inside a bus stop. Had no umbrella, and could not walk in the rain. Did not want to run. She sat next to me. A car dashed past me, sending a shower of rain into the bus stop. The rain was forming puddles of water on the road. The car splashed the water on me. The car was silver.
There was a purr. Raindrops dropped from the skies and splashed onto the road and the trees. Pitter-patter, pitter-patter. There was another purr. Cars swooshed past the bus stop.
Felt something brushing against my leg. Looked down. It was Keera. She had green eyes. She purred and rubbed her head against me. It was wet. Reached down and stroked her head. Remembered someone doing this. She gave another purr, a lower one this time. Stroked her head more.
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter.
Keera was trembling. She gave another purr. The rain stopped. Stood up. Walked towards my house. Another person walked past me. White tank top. Turquoise bra. She was holding an umbrella. Aren’t we supposed to hold an umbrella only when it is raining?
Puzzled. Turned to look at her walking away. Turquoise-bra-woman walked past Keera. Turquoise-bra-woman squatted down and stretch her hand out. What was Turquoise-bra-woman doing? Turquoise-bra-woman stroked Keera. She bared her teeth. Turquoise-bra-woman quickly stood up. Keera purred again.
Turquoise-bra-woman was speaking to Keera. Keera yawned. A torn umbrella was lying on the grass patch behind the bus stop. Keera yawned again. Turquoise-bra-woman was hyperventilating.
Turned back. Walked slowly to house. Was walking when I heard a loud scream. Turned back. Didn’t know why.
Turquoise-bra-woman had blood on her face. Turquoise-bra-woman was screaming. Keera was running away. Turned back. Didn’t care why.
Shouldn’t have pulled her tail.
