Conversation With Weirdy Cat Guy

A gargoyle fell off the top of the building and landed on my toe. I screamed like an injured bobcat, loud, long, hard, with a glow. The neighbors all came out and stared, but this was the city. They turned snickering, and ran off; the scene was not pretty. One old guy came over and said “There will be a bill for that.” He was pointing to the cement gargoyle who had ears like a cat. You think I pushed this thing off the top letting it fall on my foot? I was irritated now. Also it had left a trail of ugly black soot. Your tennis shoe is ruined; you should have known better, he said. I knew right then that the old guy was bonkers in his skinny ole’ head. I shoved the gargoyle off my foot and told him to shove off. Then I noticed his ugly smile and his strange little weird kitty cough. “Hey”, I asked this Weirdy Cat. “Weren’t you married to my sister?” “Could be,” he replied."I married many." He is a strange little mister. Oh, yes, I thought, this was one of hers for sure. He is so odd. I limped off, not looking back after pushing the gargoyle off my bod.

This is a new experience for me. I can't that I've ever known a person who had a gargoyle fall on them.

I had to do this in honor of my sister whose second husband was an absolute "weirdy cat" -their four-year-old grandson called him that too!
