Puss: Chapter 1 - Puss & Max on Death Hill
A hand touches my head, waking me from my slumber. What?! Oh, it’s you. I was asleep y’know! Geez. The same hand slides down my back. Trying to make up for waking me? Well…ok.
“We’ve got to go now Puss, we’ll be home later.”
Yeah, whatever. As the front door closes I get up, stretch, and go to the box. Two minutes later - don’t judge me; I ate a lot yesterday - I eat some food, have a drink, and exit the house through the catdoor. Hmmm…where to? I could go to the forest, the kennel, the beach, or…I could go to death hill. Nah, that’s suicide. Although, I am a bit bored…
I jump the fence into the front yard, past the gate and onto death hill. I know I shouldn’t be here, but it’s the morning, and most people have left for work or school. Plus, the racers won’t be up until at least the afternoon, and even then they won’t be out of the house until about 10pm. I should be fine.
“Hey Puss, babies gone yet?”
I frown. “Don’t call them that Max, they take care of us.”
“Yeah, but when they talk to us they sound like babies,” says Max. He then puts on a silly voice and says “aw, my little pussy, you’re so cute!”
“Oh, shut up Max!”
“Ha, sorry,” says Max, grinning. “So, what are you doing out here? Usually when you come to talk to me, you stay in the dwelling garden - not always yours, but you know what I mean.”
“Yeah, well, I was bored, alright? And the racers won’t be up for hours anyway; it’s perfectly safe.”
“I s’pose. Well then, why don’t you come with me to the forest?”
“Huh? I just worked up the nerve to leave the dwelling, I’m not going back in already.”
“No, not that forest doofus, the real forest. Well, as close to a real forest as we have around here. Y’know, the one right next to the park?”
“Oh, right, sure. And if there’s no one at the park, we can go there too.”
“Sounds good. Let’s go.”
“Wait, first I need to visit the box again.”
“Again? When did you last go?”
“About 10 minutes ago.” On seeing Max’s face I say “hey, don’t give me that look; I had a lot to eat yesterday.”
