Catch Me, I'm Falling

After I had closed the door behind me, I heaved a sigh of relief over the fact that I didn't do anything that would cause him to not like me.

I learned my lesson with Odysseus. This time I won't be creepy.

I went back outside to clear my mind about the day, although I'm literally two hours into it.

The sea was looking as beautiful as ever, but it was too bad I could not cross the reef.

I had tried to escape before, but I had been struck down by Eris, the goddess of chaos.

In fact, I still had a scar on my arm from that moment.

Oh, if only I could escape this island.

Sure, it was pretty and all, but it's sad knowing that I'll be stuck here for the rest of my life.

I just sat on the sand and stared at the ocean, but then, I heard purring coming closer.

It was my cat, Sparkles. I found her on this island when she was just a month old, and now she's about nine months old.

"Hi, baby girl! Come here, Sparkles!" I crooned in a baby voice.

She sauntered over towards me and started purring and rolling in my lap.

"That's a good kitty." I said happily.

Then, she started to bite my hand!

"Sparkles! How many times have I told you not to bite people?!"   I snapped.

Sparkles looked at me in a startled manner.

"Look, I'm sorry for yelling. But you can't bite people!" I sighed.

I then picked her up and went over to feed the dog.
