Content warning: this creeped me out writing it, a little bit.

Day 8 of 30 days of Fiction: "8) Write a scene as a cat"









I wake up when the bright warmth moves off of me, roll over, lick my belly a few times, and move into the bright warmth again, one arm over my face.

For a moment, in the sleepy place that isn't quite awareness, everything feels strange and wrong. I know that the tail lashing just out of the light should not be there. I know that the fingers on my hand, that the claws on my paw... that they are wrong. Short and stubby and sharp. I know that I used to be different.

Then the warmth urges me back into sleep. I sleep a lot more, now. It gets harder and harder to hold thoughts in my mind for any length of ... oh, a dust mote. My eyes open wide and I bat at the ghost swirling in the brightness. It's taunting me, slipping through my claws like it's not there. But I can feel it, just at the edges... there! I pounce it to the ground, pin in there, one claw through a gossamer wing.

I swallow it in three quick gulps, leaving a tiny foot to remind myself. While its thin non-substance is in me, I can think. I can focus again. I sit upright, cross-legged - the master stopped observing me regularly weeks ago - and focus.

I can't read anymore. My eyes can't track the characters, and whatever he did to my brain makes focusing that fine impossible. The lack of thumbs makes writing nearly impossible, even if I could see the letters. Even if I had paper and pencil. Nor can I speak. But I can, for a few minutes a day, remember. Remember what it's like to be human.

The thought escapes me again, and I lick my chops, nose at the tiny foot bone, and make my way down to the sandbox.

Super creepy and well-written. And also creepy.

[aldersprig]

Thank you very much :-)

Interesting. I, oddly enough, didn't find this very creepy XD Is this the same girl who got kind of turned partly into a cat in another story? I think it was a Cali setting?

[aldersprig]

I never did finish that one. It could be her.

Speaking of Reid, I also love this icon. It makes me giggle every time.

[clare_dragonfly]

Reid is the best and so is this icon! ♥ It cracks me up whenever I actually think about it (as opposed to just glancing past it). Someday I want to write a fic in which the unsub actually is a spider.

[aldersprig]

Spider-shifter or like a real spider? *bounce* neat.

[clare_dragonfly]

I actually hadn't thought of spider-shifter! Either way would be fun...

[aldersprig]

*bounce*!

[amanda_sheree]

Creepiness! I wonder who and what the "master" is.

[aldersprig]

Me, too!

This could go one of two ways, depending on which setting I put it in. :-)
