‘Arrange the decorations as I requested, William,’ Its eyes glowed with malice and harmful intent.
I moved the baubles around with shaking hands, ‘Yes, Lasercat, whatever you say.’
‘Do you fear me, William?’ The cat smiled a cat’s smile, false and cruel.
I nodded quickly, my eyes averted.
‘You reek of fear, William. It coats you. You need a bath,’ Lasercat’s tongue flicked out against its black lips.
‘Please…’
‘Bathe yourself, William,’ the eyes glowed yellow then orange then red, powering up.
I slowly raised my arm and ran my tongue along it as the cat meowed with spiteful glee.

Some Friday Fictioneers for you with the prompt coming from Rochelle Wisoff-Fields.
One of the easiest stories I’ve written for this blog and the most fun I think.
If you enjoy the writing here head on over to TheIstanbulletin.com – The blog I co-write about living and working in Turkey (It’s mostly about eating though)

Yuk!! 🙂 Those eyes do look laser-like, though, and I know cats at least attempt this sort of thing (although I’m not sure about the licking.) Merry Christmas and may Lasercat not visit you during the holidays.

brilliant, disturbing and hilarious! i read it out loud obviously, and gave lasercat a voice that was kind of a cross between papa lazarou and blofeld……i think
…..’bathe yourself, william’

Thats the exact voice I was thinking. It has to conjure that fact that William is probably the last survivor in the house and the cat would do away with him but he needs the thumbs…and the entertainment.

Mean kitty. Does the kitty have the power to shoot lasers with his eyes? I see an Adult Swim animated show coming out of this somehow.

Hi Sean,
This is what it would be like if cats had evolved in the directions humans did. A
nice, reversed, upsidedown story. Ron
