“Damn little beast! Filthy damn animal!” Jack screamed as he clutched his burning face. The cats he had killed before had scratched him many times, but none of the little bastards had ever had the audacity to scratch him in the face! The nerve of that foul creature!651Please respect copyright.PENANA1XxbZR4A2T

Jack picked up the meat tenderizing hammer and scrambled into the hallway after the black cat. His head swung back and forth as he scanned for the wayward animal. He started to go into one of the bedrooms, but the burning on his face reminded him that he had been wounded.651Please respect copyright.PENANAxRuLZoVyFd

He walked into the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. It was worse than he imagined it would be. He had several deep scratches on his cheek and forehead. To top it all off the malicious varmint had bit him on the nose! Four red holes right in the center of his nose dripped blood down his face. All of his wounds were bleeding, but the ones on his nose was dripping at an extraordinary rate. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAykFFjs2NDh

How could he go to work looking like he did? What would Mr. Mitchell think? What would Marcy think? Would they think that he was some sort of hooligan who had gotten into a bar fight? Would they think that he was too weak to defend himself from a small animal? No this wouldn't do. This wouldn't do at all. After he was finished with the cat he knew that he would have to call in sick for the rest of the week in order to heal. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAzYOQwbuRfo
651Please respect copyright.PENANARnSByXz37W
651Please respect copyright.PENANAv2NX8NuXWR
But calling in sick led to being written up. Being written up led to unemployment. It would never do. It was all the fault of that damn cat. He put a few band aids on his face, grabbed his meat tenderizing hammer and went to look for it. 651Please respect copyright.PENANADhRkTeWgKv

After searching the entire bottom floor he couldn't find hide nor hair of the rotten stray, so he quietly went upstairs to find his prey. Even though his face was burning and itching he found the hunt quite exhilarating and thrilling. When he killed this one it would give him a sweet gratification that he hadn't felt in years. 651Please respect copyright.PENANATI6mlWrehz
651Please respect copyright.PENANAmB8JvoZxFe
651Please respect copyright.PENANATmLjkrbGwB
What a sight he must have been. A grown man in his forties wandering about his home in his tighty whiteys and socks , holding a wooden meat tenderizing hammer with a shirt and face full of blood. It would be disgraceful if his dear mother had seen him that way. 651Please respect copyright.PENANASGpvyKqwZo

As he was about to abandon his hunt for his attacker and go put on a pair of respectable pajama bottoms, he heard a cat’s screech come from his bedroom. Something about it made his blood run cold. There was something different about this cat, but still, it was his duty to rid the world of it. He was as stealthy as he could be as he made his way towards the open door that led into his bedroom. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAjKaHvOIWQC
651Please respect copyright.PENANAdfJXc2O8Nj
651Please respect copyright.PENANAyxg8LqZZ2J
Peeking around the corner of the door, he saw nothing. He walked into his room, the carpet silencing his steps. He searched everywhere, but found nothing. It wasn't under his bed or in his closet. It wasn't behind his nightstand or on top of his dresser. It was like the wicked feline had disappeared completely. 651Please respect copyright.PENANA3JAAcV7FD0
651Please respect copyright.PENANA2QkGsU0NRp
651Please respect copyright.PENANAYEczx8ErF8
Giving up looking for the creature, he grabbed a pair of pajama bottoms and a white tee shirt, and made his way out of the room. He reckoned he would go back to the bathroom, dress his wounds and then get dressed. He would find the cat sooner or later and he had to look presentable for when the trick or treaters started arriving. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAkqRTC0ThP3

He started to step down the stairs when he realized what was happening. A flash of black bolted out of the shadows and blocked his step. Jack tumbled down each and every step that made up the flight of stairs. Twenty six of them to be exact. Each roll down the steps added another painful explosion into his world. He screamed as he came to the bottom of the steps with a thud. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAlSpBwyTpkv
651Please respect copyright.PENANA4DG2VDwW3J
651Please respect copyright.PENANAE0OceXLJq8
He coughed and spat and rested his head to the side, when he saw the flash of black run into the kitchen once again. Jack screamed in rage and, with much effort, sat himself up. His whole body now burned and ached. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAqBUY559Cct
651Please respect copyright.PENANA3EFqJXYEsG
651Please respect copyright.PENANADB8VBkHzd8
Never in his life had a cat caused him so much trouble. He would show that cat. He would put an end to it. Jack gripped the rails of the stairs and pulled himself up. He walked into the kitchen. He intended to grab the large kitchen knife and continue his search, but he wouldn't have time to enact his plan. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAMq0pcuPFEG
651Please respect copyright.PENANA4co7mNfCZn
651Please respect copyright.PENANAp8hM2ciQUs
As soon as he took four steps into the kitchen, the cat pounced. From the kitchen counter it launched itself at Jack and landed on his back. The cat's claws and teeth shredded Jack’s skin. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAWM0BEi0yX6

Jack screamed as fell onto his knees, which was a terrible mistake that cost him dearly. His knees plopped right down into the shards of the broken plate. A howl of rage and pain filled the air as the crisp, new pain invaded Jack’s body. Involuntarily he fell forward. The cat was still shredding his back and the shards from the plate drove deep into his knees. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAiPlyUj5bBy
651Please respect copyright.PENANADXdiTzAoT2
651Please respect copyright.PENANALeJB9ZgOc8
When he landed from his forward fall new jagged pieces of the broken plate drove into his hands, wrists and torso. He screamed again and began thrashing as he got to his feet and ran into the living room. The cat continued chasing him into the room and Jack, with heaving breaths ran away from it.651Please respect copyright.PENANA1dm9Oiynsk

The creature was mad! It probably had rabies! He couldn't go to work if he had rabies. Oh how he hated this cat. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAcyWeHMwUto
651Please respect copyright.PENANA7HhbxovNAk
651Please respect copyright.PENANAO2NeZXgvmG
Jack glared at the cat with fire in his heart. He had never wanted anything more than to see that cat dead. Forgetting the pain that was shooting through every ounce of his body he sprinted towards the cat as best he could with his knees being injured. 651Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZJi7rJYp0
651Please respect copyright.PENANAbBzjvrgJRx
651Please respect copyright.PENANAugC1hp1zFE
Much to his dismay the cat didn't run. Not this cat. This cat was vicious. This cat had as much hatred in its heart for Jack as Jack had for it. The black cat with the white soul patch sprung at Jack and planted itself firmly on Jack's face once again.651Please respect copyright.PENANARIi3LffQGX
651Please respect copyright.PENANANmgp43mQWs
651Please respect copyright.PENANAfVaIUvTCbB
The cat tore and shredded while Jack punched and attempted to choke it. During the struggle Jack didn't notice how close he had come to his front window. The large one that looked out over his front lawn and onto his street. So intent on the struggle with the cat, he was, that he barely noticed when the two of them tumbled into the glass and through it. 651Please respect copyright.PENANA4u8ssWScTS
651Please respect copyright.PENANAI4mv2BFS0d
651Please respect copyright.PENANApxxb0Ljhk1
A crashing sound was heard throughout the neighborhood as the man and cat fell through the window and onto the ground while locked in mortal combat. The cat bolted off of Jack as soon as the two of them landed. “I'll kill you!” Jack screamed as he chased the cat down the street. 651Please respect copyright.PENANABjfm1IVU8w

Several of his neighbors came out to look at the bloody man in his underwear chased a cat down the street, but they shook their heads as they figured it was just some elaborate Halloween prank. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAPULqBKKB0e
651Please respect copyright.PENANAImZTwp8LIc

Jack ran as quickly as he could down the street after the beast. He was screaming and making guttural noises in his rage. His rage would help him destroy the beast. He couldn't let it get away. Catching and taking it’s life was the only thing of importance to him. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAekf30K83Bm
651Please respect copyright.PENANAsvfjhjBCDI

With all of Jack’s focus on the cat in front of him, Jack didn't see all of the other cats that were gathering behind him. As Jack ran block after block chasing the black cat with the white soul patch other strays began following them.651Please respect copyright.PENANAEWcZLf99RD
651Please respect copyright.PENANA57s2OWitBM
651Please respect copyright.PENANAiv2gK2dlci
First an orange cat ducked out of the bushes and began following them. Then a gray one and a white one. Then a calico with four multi colored friends. Then another black one. Then six kittens of varying hue. They kept coming and coming and coming. Pouring out of the woodworks.651Please respect copyright.PENANAfgwNKMPBpN
651Please respect copyright.PENANAEUjCsKPboY
651Please respect copyright.PENANAe3oDtazzWu
Finally Jack noticed them. He stopped in the middle of the street and turned around. He couldn't believe his eyes. There, in front of him, stood and army of cats. One, maybe two hundred of the filthy creatures. How could there have been so many of them? He had been carefully removing them from his nice little suburb for a such a very long time now. There was no way there could be that many just hanging around. 651Please respect copyright.PENANA7kROuAtZRH
651Please respect copyright.PENANAHPUFRsaU5D
651Please respect copyright.PENANAk6yuoO9d5i
The army of cats stood still. An eerie still. There were no tails waving. There was no licking of paws. There was no shifting positions. There was nothing save for the eerie stillness, as they watched his every move.651Please respect copyright.PENANA0RN0E28iCk
651Please respect copyright.PENANA6CZrwYLWUC
651Please respect copyright.PENANA4TrQlGsJwC
The stillness was bad. The quiet was worse. A silence had settled over all of the cats. The very world itself seemed to be void of all sound. The only thing Jack could hear was the ragged sound of his own struggling breath. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAQBpNgxjvTG
651Please respect copyright.PENANA4mkP3Cf5HS
651Please respect copyright.PENANADdkz1iMrjW
He turned his head from side to side, trying to figure out exactly where he was. He had lost track of his position in his blind rage. There was a street sign in the corner. Bingham street? How could he have gone that far? Bingham was six miles from his home. There was no possible way he could have ran all that way in the condition he was in. 651Please respect copyright.PENANApUkjRNqxHs
651Please respect copyright.PENANAWxLouUHwKj
651Please respect copyright.PENANAqaY1d62OvN
Bingham was the street that he grew up on. It was where he lived with his dear mother and father. He saw their old house, sitting there in all of it’s baby blue glory. He started to take a step towards it, but a sound broke the silence.651Please respect copyright.PENANAfFRZvoAd92
651Please respect copyright.PENANAv3hUSNaibr
651Please respect copyright.PENANAOWdPGOiq3T
From behind Jack, the black cat with the white soul patch rumbled and hissed. Jack turned to face it. It's eyes were filled with hate as it bristled it’s hair, and hissed in a menacing manner. 651Please respect copyright.PENANA66MIzrgj93
651Please respect copyright.PENANAAJZuqCgJvY
651Please respect copyright.PENANArExFf6sJjE
Jack’a eyes widened. A strange feeling found itself planted inside of Jack’s heart. Fear. A cat had never caused him to feel fear before. It was an odd sensation. Jack didn't enjoy it. Not one bit. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAnNmyrp4M3j
651Please respect copyright.PENANAp1dXsfkzCy
651Please respect copyright.PENANAo8Qhh01fPH
The black cat with the white soul patch reared it’s head into the air and screeched at the top of it’s lungs. The yell sent chills down down Jack’s spine. Every fiber of his being told him to run. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAiEGtIl62ix
651Please respect copyright.PENANAvt35DEDt6j
651Please respect copyright.PENANARP3C2JbRKS

651Please respect copyright.PENANA4XrApPBQBp
Now the army of felines was being led by the black cat with the white soul patch. They could have overtaken Jack at any time, but they just seemed to jog in formation behind him. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAIN6aQrVVL2
651Please respect copyright.PENANAnmp7PeIJoc

Jack ran to his childhood home. He tried the door, but it was locked. He pounded on the door and pleaded for someone to let him in, but he didn't have time to see if anyone answered. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAYg79I4zpOD
651Please respect copyright.PENANAmONHhzvHYQ
651Please respect copyright.PENANA49SjqjrQV9
An orange tabby launched itself at Jack while his back was turned and bit him in the Achilles' tendon. The man screamed in pain and started to run again. This time at a sprint, the speed of which his body had never experienced.651Please respect copyright.PENANAk3R2ebuiB7
651Please respect copyright.PENANAtXpTv0gyqV
651Please respect copyright.PENANAmETdKBfwIY
He swiftly ran down the street and a few more blocks up. Now the cats were becoming more bold. They would take turns catching up with the exhausted man and giving him playful little scratches to goad him along. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9eof9ATqf
651Please respect copyright.PENANAfvIa3IKwJv

Jack’s legs were a bloody, burning mess when he came to a little park. He sprinted as quickly as his jellied legs would carry him. There were woods out behind the park that he knew well when he was a boy. He had buried many a cat there when he was a boy.651Please respect copyright.PENANAqPRZFZHCmP
651Please respect copyright.PENANAKFKthhFzjm

The cats allowed him to run into the woods. Jack thought that if perhaps he could make it into the woods he could lose them there. He didn't realize where they were leading him. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAugpicWikmm
651Please respect copyright.PENANApXvfv80IQh
651Please respect copyright.PENANAzhdq3TMArB
Every time he tried to turn or weave to try and lose them the cats would form so that he couldn't go any other way, but the way they were allowing him to go. They herded him for another ten minutes into the woods. Until he finally came to their final destination. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAaOsiPleYrH

Jack dropped to his knees when he realized where he was. The band of felines had led him to the place that started it all. They had led him to the final resting place of his aunt’s cat, Cleopatra. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAL1ebi1eWSh
651Please respect copyright.PENANAAyNWPnW0Sa
651Please respect copyright.PENANAe9gaHfEMtk
There was a hole that looked like it had been dug out from the bottom up. And a few feet from that hole Cleopatra was patiently waiting for him. Except it no longer looked like his aunty’s beloved Cleo. It was a cat made of bone and mummified meat.651Please respect copyright.PENANA154YBMfZNr
651Please respect copyright.PENANAfL3HqA4HLl
651Please respect copyright.PENANArU31VXU6Ch
Flies buzzed around the zombie cat as it gazed at Jack with eyes that were no longer there. Patches of fur were still on Cleopatra, but they were so covered in mud that you couldn't recognize what hue they were originally. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAU9wds6vshx
651Please respect copyright.PENANAJWnoMjkKL3

Jack looked back at the other cats. They all were the same. What was once an army of vibrant, colorful cats was now a collection of rotting corpses and skeletal remains.651Please respect copyright.PENANAph0bg4NMuz
651Please respect copyright.PENANAXVnSfXC7lw
651Please respect copyright.PENANAMzjGmMX0lb
One by one Jack began to recognize them. He had killed them all. Every last one of them. Cleopatra was there. The black cat with the white soul patch was there. Marcy’s two cats were there. The cats he hacked, sliced, pummeled, choked, burned and sawed were all there. 651Please respect copyright.PENANA3tIRHFGil5
651Please respect copyright.PENANAYxgZDbvlVX
651Please respect copyright.PENANA4GPrThMmb6
Jack began to sob as the dead cats slowly made their way towards him. They didn't make a sound as they pounced on him. Nor did they make a sound as they started ripping the flesh off his bones. They tore and scratched in silence.651Please respect copyright.PENANAX6AyiX4cv0
651Please respect copyright.PENANADxvM5z1Kdm
651Please respect copyright.PENANAQm3QOFxU5j
Screams of anguish emitted from Jack, but they didn't last long. The cats that had had their lives snuff out by this cruel man were now the ones doing the murdering.651Please respect copyright.PENANAZPVl8C1NEQ
651Please respect copyright.PENANAbM2yUg3tih

In the end all that was left of Jack was a few bones that the forest animals gnawed on. What was left of him was found a few years later by some boys who were wandering in the small woods. 651Please respect copyright.PENANAjU5DcjUqTH

His remains were never identified and they now sit in an unmarked grave in the local cemetery. And, oddly enough, every Halloween an army of cats come to his grave to pay their respects.
