Johnny ducked in an alley way, he had ran 3 blocks from the merchant’s shop, he stopped for a breather.
I did it! He thought
I proved that there is no such thing as luck.
He breathed hard, desperately trying to catch his breath.
He glance up for a sec, he found a straggly cat, with its ear half bitten and its tail half bare, staring him down coldly with violet eyes. Something was odd with it's eyes, the pupils had the shape of a nine.
“What?” he choked out, still trying to catch his breath.
“You don’t scare me, you’re just an ordinary black cat.”
The cat continued to stare at him coldly, Johnny rolled his eyes, he wasn't about to take this, especially from some cat. He walked past the cat, ignoring it's gaze. He started down the sidewalk.
it's just a stupid cat. It can't do anything to me. He thought.
He looked around in his surroundings, it was becoming twilight now. He could see that some of the street lights came on. He started across the street to the next block.
SCREEEECCHH!!!
Johnny looked up, he saw a car screeching and roaring down the street, the car didn't look like it was planning to stop at a red light. Johnny started walking faster, but before reaching the corner, he couldn't move!
Johnny looked down to find tar had been road! He could hear the car coming faster now, Johnny struggled through the tar.
No! It's not bad luck!
He thought, loosing one of his shoes, he could hear the car almost upon him. As a final attempt, he jumped as far as he could.
He makes a bellyflop on the pavement, barely missing the car, he made it to the corner! He looked back, seeing the car speed by him, the tar having no effect to the car! He sighed in relief, turned his head toward the corner, to come face to face with the same straggly cat, staring coldly with it's eyes changing to 8.
