The Setting
Phoebe was bored. It was afternoon. Shadow was practicing her powers with Captain Cattitude. Phoebe decided to help Suzie in the kitchen to make lunch.
“Hi, Suzie. Can I help you? I’m tired of not having anything to do. A person can only do Photoshop for so much. It’s been eighteen days. I’m so sick of Photoshop,” said Phoebe, “Sure, you can wash the tomatoes. We’re having grilled cheese with tomatoes,” said Suzie Phoebe grabbed the tomatoes out of the refrigerator, walked to the industrial-sized sink, and began to gently wash the tomatoes.
“You know this isolation is hard. I miss my owner Nick, so much. Have you been able to see if our family members are safe and don’t have COVID 19.” said Phoebe beginning to tear up. “No, honey, I haven’t, but we are working on it. I know how hard this has been for everyone. I miss my husband,” said Suzie with watery eyes. “Is that why you are crying, Phoebe because you miss your friends and your owner?” “Yes, plus other things,” said Phoebe. “I’m worried about Captain Cattitude and what he is teaching Shadow. I’m scared of both of them,” said Phoebe now crying harder. Phoebe, what do you know?” Suzie replied with concern in her voice. “Shadow is learning powers that are dangerous,” said Phoebe regretting she said it as soon as she heard it come out of her mouth. “What do you mean?” Suzie said. “She can levitate, she can read peoples’ minds and the one that scares me to the bones is she can stop time,” said Phoebe realizing she violated Shadow’s trust. ‘Why am I always gossiping,” she thought. “WHAT!” said Suzie highly alarmed as she dropped the butter knife she was holding to the ground. “Nevermind, it was nothing. I shouldn’t have said anything,” said Phoebe trying to backtrack on what she said. “This information you revealed is serious. We need to let others know what is going on and discuss what we are going to do about it. It’s important everyone feels safe. Now, with what I know, I certainly don’t feel safe, “Where are Shadow and Captain Cattitude now?” “They are in Captain Cattitude’s bedroom practicing her new powers, I suppose. “We must put a stop to this until we know more about these powers,” said Suzie as she started to walk briskly out of the kitchen. “Where are you going?” asked Phoebe now fearing her best would know she was the one that told. “I’m getting Peter and Bueadelare then we are going to have a talk with Captain Cattidue and Shadow…” said Suzie.
