The lightning flashes and the rain comes down in sheets...
You sit in your safe, warm home. The fireplace crackles, and you are glad for the flames to ward off the discomfort of the stormy night. On a normal night, you would have gone to bed hours ago. However, something is keeping you awake tonight. Prehaps it is the pouring rain, or possibly the boom of the thunder ringing in your ears. Outside, you hear a screeching sound, and something crashing to the ground. A dark shadow crosses in front of your window, and you freeze in place, unsure of what it is. Oddly, your window begins to open...
A small shape slips inside, and your window slams shut again behind it. Terrified, you squint your eyes, trying to tell what this creature is. You realize that it's a cat. She's quite small, and her fur is ebony black. As she sits down on your window sill, she turns to look at you with eeri yellow eyes. She eyes you for a moment, and then turns away with an air of disintrest. She curls her tail around her paws, and begins grooming her wet fur.
