Its A Crow! Its A Raven! ~~~ Its A CAT !!! AGGGG!!!!

The date was March 16th, 2012. The time was during the mid day meal. The cats were napping in the living room when, without warning, Molly, the drama queen started awake... thus waking Emerald, with the princess complex. Both assumed their most expert stalking positions and shrinking to the floor, both tore forwards to the patio door.

The objective achieved, the two battle cats peered out the window, their attention at full throttle. Waiting and watching for any movement their heads moving simultaneously together as they glowered at the 'something' that was attempting to invade their territory.

Did you see that?  That what?  I know you saw that!

With twin concentrated efforts they were determined to stare their enemy down! But, what was the enemy and where?  Was it...

Over there, do you see it now? See WHAT! Well, LOOK!!

A Crow that landed on the patio deck for some leftover cat food?
A Raven that flew just past to see if it could spot the same food?
No, it was...

Oh T-H-A-T!  Its a...

 grey barn cat who came in from the cold.

P-l-e-a-s-e, I asking nicely?

Sailor and the Ruined Castle, Con't

He had been born here a year ago but his mother and his siblings had simply vanished without a trace. The only sound that had reverberated off the ancient, human-made walls had been his hungry cry. Sailor had heard the noises, hearkened to them because he could not yet see. Something warm and gentle had lifted him and given him the milk he so desperately needed for survival before setting him down again to sleep. He always felt tired after the 'something' had fed him. It was strange that he had no fear of whatever force had its life within those walls. Now, he crouched just outside this same relic of a building once again.

Sailor and the Ruined Castle

Here is the story I've just started working on... As promised, I will post a part of it every day to every other day so come back again to read the next exploit in the adventure that Sailor undertakes in his journey to uncover the mystery of the ruined castle.

Chapter One

Sailor hesitated at the edge of the enclosed lake, from this vantage point he could see what he'd journeyed here for. The old dilapidated white fence was still leaning against some trees on the other side; it would be a small matter to attain the castle side of the briny, he just had to travel from rock to rock all the way around. It was late autumn and nature was browning up before winter struck, but there were still some trees with green left on them. The sun was so warm and soft as it illuminated the ruins of the baked and brown castle that Sailor felt himself starting to doze. But No! He shook himself awake, he had to ford the lagoon and reach the monument by nightfall at the very latest, everything depended on it now. 

Can you find the white fence?
