The Jungle

In the jungle are dangers unknown to the average American, almost unknown completely, you could come across a dangerous bug with poisons beyond your comprehension. Or you could come across a snake that could kill you in fifteen different ways….using only its tail. But there is certainly a more terror inflicting beast in the wild, one so threatening and dangerous, it makes all the rest look like mere specs of dirt. It is…. The American housecat!!


* * * * * *



Unknown to the journalist watching, the housecat is at play with its fellow companions, looking innocent and harmless. This species of cat are very social most times, but can be aggressive. With no intention, the journalist trips over the cat food bowl, the cats freeze and view the journalist as prey. the all run in different directions, working as a team to bring down prey much larger than themselves. The journalist panics and runs, getting away from certain disaster, for now…

* * *

The cats come out of hiding while the journalist peers quietly from kitchen, they start hissing and clawing towards one general direction, towards the family room, in wonder you sneak over to find out what they are doing, to find a small basset hound panicking and running circles, then frozen with fear, the dog falls over, the cats have won…they are about to go and enjoy there daily feast, but they sense something watching and run away. You don’t see them for a good 30 minutes, so you go to look for them, you walk into the family room…nothing but an eerie silence. You hear a small, barely audible hiss behind you, you turn to find nothing. Imagination, you think its just your imagination, then you hear something above you, you look up to a terrible sight, a bloodthirsty cat hyped up on catnip is staring you down, you feel something brush your leg, you look down to 2 more, then you look back up and the cat is gone. Only to appear again for the ambush, he jumps and grabs firmly onto your shoe, pulling it off and running away. Panicked you run away only to be stopped by 4 more cats, jumping at your legs, tripping you. You stumble to your feet, fearful for your life. You run again, but your tries are in vain...

* * *



You reach for the door knob and a cat lurches onto your hand, and another onto your leg, an yet another one onto your back, knocking you over. You throw a few off, trying to get up, but to no avail. You know that the Jungle, the territory of the house ca, is a very dangerous place, but you didn’t expect this, jumping from side to side they all freeze, forming a perfect path, you get up and walk dawn the row of cats, fearing they will harm you. You reach the end, there is one, small kitten. So cute, so innocent, you reach to pet it, as you do, it jumps at you. You are attacked from all sides. You see nothing but cats…



To Be Continued…

The Absolute hottest I have ever been

You wake up to the sound of the radio; a record setting high temperature has been set in your town. You get out of your bed and turn the A.C on. Its only 8 A.M. in the morning. You stumble towards the fridge to grab the milk, only to find the milk is bad, disappointed you grab the eggs instead. You crack an egg into the bowl, as you do you see bead of sweat drop into the egg bowl, it’s your sweat. You walk to the A.C. system and try to find out why its not working…it was fried…

* * * *

You start to panic, thinking some water will help you. You grab a cup and turn the tap on as cold as you possibly can, it comes out hot…you smell fire, and the stench of burning food…you walk into the empty kitchen to see the eggs have lighted on fire, as fast as possible you run and get a bucket of water and put it out. It was still in the bowl…you aren’t hungry anymore, you just want a cool place and maybe some cold water. You think the pool is a good place to go to cool off. You get your swimming suit on, and start for the door, the biggest mistake of your life…

* * * *

You reach for the door, and grab the doorknob. You feel a searing pain in your hand as you twist the doorknob, you release your hand before the doors opens, jumping back from pain you curse and go to the kitchen to grab the pot holders. You get them and walk for the door, you grab the doorknob fast, twisting as quick as humanly possible. You swing the door open, and, almost like an explosion, you get thrown back from a tremendous wall of heat, crippling with pain you try to scream, but to no avail, you throat is to dry. You curl into a ball and roll over moaning and trying to grab onto something, anything that could block the heat from your face or a few seconds, rolling in pain. Your vision go white, blue, red, writhing in constant pain you roll again and you start to fall…

* * * *

You awake to the sound of a radio, sweating you stand up. You look around and realize that it’s all over...it was just a dream…you relax, because now You now know how it feels to be The Hottest You Have EVER been in your life!

The ABSoLUTE Coldest I Have ever been

The night was dark; you could barely see your own hand. You sit, watching TV, feeling tired and warm under your blanket. You have to get up and go to your bed before it gets too late, but you are too comfortable. Eventually you get enough courage to walk to your room, only to find that the terrors of this night have only begun…

* * * *

You stand up with the blanket still stretched across you. Feeling the warmth, and a false sense of security. you have to put the blanket in the far closet, o so far away from your comfortable bed. You start walking, you curl your toes to keep them warm, you feel weird traversing in the dark, not knowing where you are. You eventually make it to the closet, trying to hurry and get to bed; you make your first mistake, you knock over the dog water dish as you feel the freezing water cover you feet and ankles, you curse into the long empty darkness. You put the now wet blanket in the laundry to dry, leaving yourself exposed to the cold, bone chilling night…

* * * *

The cold starts to consume your very being, you start to speed walk to your room, looking nervously around the living room, which you have just entered. Feeling cold and scared, you start a slow trot to your room… not knowing the terrors. You make it to the door outside your room, there is a sound inside your room, you freeze, and listen…it sounds like and ice tray when you crack it open. You try to open the door, it does not budge, you try again, this time harder, still, no give. With all your might you turn the doorknob and throw all your weight into the door, and it cracks down the middle, leaving a crack just big enough for you to fit through, you squeeze through, and then you feel a sudden burst of freezing cold air, you are so cold, your breath freezes before it leaves your mouth. You can’t move. You can’t hardly think straight. Out of reflex you curl into a ball and try to get warm, failing would mean you freeze to death, so you grab your ankles and you make a desperate attempt to warm yourself. Falling unconscious, you think “I have failed…”

* * * *

You awake only to the warm sun falling on your chilled face, warming your ever cold bones. You know that the night is over, yet it haunts you, you now know how it feels to be The Coldest You Have Ever Been in Your LIFE!
