“Remove the cats!” I shrieked. “By the third thunder, the demon box should be empty until I finish the casting!” I raced to finish chalking the sigil that would keep the monster trapped.
When the demon arose choking and spluttering, the child and I dashed around the wizard’s studio madly gathering kittens. But the mama cat arched her back and hissed, ready to battle her foe.
Dander choked me like poison. The time to force this puny wizard’s spell and break the box had arrived, but my eyes watered and I gasped instead for reprieve. Thwarted by a cat!

This only increases my fear of cats. The symptoms are watery eyes, itchy throat, sneezing—yes, it sounds like an allergy, but it’s actually a bone-chilling fear. I see that demons share my fear. I’m not a demon. Great post!

Mwahahah! My Dad always called Mom’s cats sociopaths. They’ve certainly got their own little kitty society.
That’s some cat allergy! It’s funny that the cat could down a foe just by being a cat (didn’t even need hissing and sharp claws :))

Cats can do many things just by being cats. Just ask the humans who live in their thrall…
This is why I have dogs…great story!

Haha! I think my husband would say the same thing! Bet the wizard is keeping a kitteh on hand from now on, though, once he realizes how close he came to obliteration.
I admire your discipline with these, Jessie. I don’t have the nerve to try one. 🙂

Honestly, you don’t have to be as OCD as I am about it. And some of the prompt groups offer more deadline than length oriented focus with a broader range of ‘desired’. It’s totally addictive once you start.
*snicker* I loved the other post as well. There’s something so absurd about all of this.

*shakes head* Cats. They are so … fun.
Also? challenging.
Hilarious!

Mraow. Kitty feels she did Mr. Wizard a favor. But it’s uncertain whether the wizard is going to realize the demon was going to kill him.
Um … YIKES!!!

Ha! I love how dire this is right up until the end, when the allergy attack happens.
