Street Cat
RUN! RUN! That was all that was going through my mind as I escaped with my lunch. I had been eating rotten fish out of the trash can, when a pack of stray Rottweiler’s came upon me. They were growling and snarling, their warning for me to clear out.
I dashed away with my lunch. I was furious. Why did all of the dogs in the neighborhood get all of the food? I was so angry, I didn’t notice where I was. I was going down the wrong street. I was so distraught that I didn’t hear the truck coming up behind me. Suddenly, I was scooped up into a net.
When I awoke, I was in a cage. Then I heard the door open; a little girl squealed, and they opened my cage. The girl screamed, “KITTY,” and I was lifted out of my cage. They then put me in another cage, and we walked out. I was carried for a while, and we arrived at their house. I was carried in, and the girl me food and promptly put me into a tub of water after I ate. I jumped out immediately. I then streaked into the kitchen, leaving utter mayhem behind. When they caught me, they tossed me out into the cold yard.
After the parents had gone to bed, the little girl came and opened the door to let me in. I walked in tentatively, not knowing what to do. When I got in, she scooped me up and carried me back to her bedroom. She whispered that she loved me. This was a new feeling to me. Only now could I understand why the girl had let me in. It was because of love, of a bond that the animals shared with the Humans.
Note: This story is pretty cut down. My first version was 1000 words, but upon scrutiny of the rules, the maximum is 300 words. Ugh. Anyway, comment on it.

Yeah, I emailed it in (I'm thirteen, so yeah) but every second of the removal of the words killed me. Yeah, I'll be gone with the band.
