Kitty

You were no different from anyone else: dreams, desires, holidays, family, but your cherished dream was him, a kitten. You always dreamed of a kitten… You loved them. When you just saw a kitten, you couldn't hold back your scream of joy, you screamed so loudly that one time your voice broke, just like now.

Evening. Rain. You can't even breathe after school. You were walking down the street, listening to music, an ordinary evening, until a kitten ran at your feet. He was small, ginger. His eyes begged for help, or at least care. Unable to resist, you took him for yourself. When you got home, you washed him in the bathroom, brushed him, fed him, and dried him, holding him close like a little child. Now you sat silently, watching the kitten lie on your lap and sleep.

He looked gloomy, but also cute, and then suddenly he rolled over onto his back, revealing his white belly. You immediately stroked his belly and smiled.
