Sailor
could not remember being a 'bad' cat. That's what the human
population of this village called cats when they were misbehaving by
human standards. This was the second day of a torrential rainstorm
sucked in from the ocean; the fog had not receded but had instead,
grown denser and colder as it sank to the cobblestones. Sailor lay
unconscious in the splintering doorway of a house, dreaming once
again of another village. This one always felt more familiar to him.
The last time he had found himself here, Sailor had followed his
feelings towards a castle high atop the hill. He had turned in the
direction of one of the castle gateways and... if he remembered
correctly, had heard something; the sound of trumpets and cheering
people and now, the sense that he would truly be welcomed here;
petted, played with and fed as a 'good' cat. Was this feeling to be
trusted?
