Sunday, July 6th…
“Here, kitty kitty!” Brandon Haygood could have kicked
himself for losing sight of his precious cat during their forest walk.
Emerging from the shade of a cluster of tall trees, he came
upon a body of water he never knew was there – a long stretch of resplendent
liquid as far as his eyes could see. Nothing else was noticed other than a few
houses farther down and the vast forest behind him. His beloved Pearl was
nowhere in sight.
Looking out at the water, Brandon got the sense that it
possessed a mystical quality, and stepping a few feet closer to the water’s
edge, that feeling of its esoteric attributes intensified. A hundred yards down
the sea shore, little Pearl with her brown and white fur was a mere ten yards
away from the water. She could hear the soft, gentle voices summoning her to
come closer, and for a short while, she stood and listened as her ears perked
forward to their constant call. She soon advanced with several short steps and
could hear Brandon calling her now too, but the voices from the water were
shamelessly more appealing, more calming, and each second that sailed by,
nearly irresistible.
“Hey, kitty kitty!” Brandon started walking down the
stretch. There was no way with his Myopia that he could see Pearl from that
distance.
Pearl had finally made it to the water’s edge; the
summoning still in full force. The water glistened beneath the rays of the sun
and barely moved with the light wind.
“Come in!” went a loud whisper that the cat seemed to have
clearly understood. One paw hit the water and Pearl pulled back. It wasn’t
cold; it just didn’t feel…right. Suddenly, there was a slight ripple of the
water and from beneath emerged a head of long, black, straggly, shoulder-length
hair, a face hidden beneath and a hand that reached out and grabbed Pearl’s
little foreleg and pulled her into the water. The cat’s meow was heard by
Brandon a good ways off as the animal was yanked beneath the mysterious sea.
“Kitty?” Brandon squinted his eyes attempting to see
farther down. “Is that you, kitty?”
He started in the direction of what he thought was a
squeal, then halfway there where the ripple had been, he heard a cat’s meow.
Excitement filled his veins; he was sure he was getting closer to his beloved
Pearl. He turned his head in the direction of the water again. It seemed to be
glistening even brighter in the sun. He thought it looked magical.
“Come!” he heard in a whisper! “Come over here!”
Brandon knew he had heard that beautiful, soft voice as
clear as day. He was sure that body of water was somehow beckoning him.
“Meow!”
“Kitty! kitty! Where are you?!” He stopped in his tracks,
looking more closely at the water as far out as his eyes would permit. He was
sure he had heard his cat’s cry from somewhere in the midst of it. Standing
there, he felt a strange gravitationand
slowly, he advanced to the water’s edge. “I’m coming for you, kitty. Don’t be
afraid.”
