The Cat

My paws hit the ground with a thud as I jumped.  I almost toppled over but quickly rolled to my feet and raced off.  Afraid to look behind me, in fear that he was there, I pushed myself farther.. faster..  I ducked, scurried and trampled through everything in front of me.  Just around the corner I spotted my cave.  Finally!  I was so anxious to find safety I came in too fast.  I slipped on the way in and hit the back wall.  Breathing heavily, I laid on the floor attempting to calm myself.  My breathing started to slow and I could see clearly again.  A high pitch squeak came out of my mouth when I looked up to see glowing green eyes in front of me.
