“I am.”
“Please, tell us why.”
“Well,” she mumbled. “We all had to practice.”
He frowned, trying to understand. “There are other Makers?”
“Yes, twenty six in my class. I was supposed to scrape you all out afterwards. I forgot. Sorry.”
“Wait, we’re a failed experiment?”
The light became warmer. “Err... I learnt loads growing you. My latest world is inspired by yours.”
“You made a new race of man?”
“No, cats. Cats are awesome. We love watching cats, way more fun than humans.”

ReplyDeleteI think Cats can be more fun than humans too!
ReplyDeleteHa! Good one. Humans do seem like a failed experiment at times, don't we?
ReplyDeleteWithout humans, cats can't be catbeards... so at least we're still good for something.
