“That's why I talked to you,” the
Cat said, looking back at me. “I
figured, it was the only chance I'd
get. It's true that I liked the night
crew better than the day crew, but what
if I was wrong? I'd end up on the
torture table for sure, but that
paranoia kept getting worse and worse,
like it was...”
I finished for her, “like it was
an acid eating away at everything good
in your life, until it was all you
could think about. The Darkness,” I
whispered that last part.
“Exactly,” the Cat agreed, and
then continued, “I didn't want to take
the chance, but the paranoia was get-
ting to be too much, and then you kept
bringing up all those mice we wouldn’t
be able to save.
I figured that would be a good
time to tell her what Alicia had told
me, but it wasn’t.
“The mice just made everything
fucking worse, but now I find out it
was all for NOTHING!!” the Cat
screamed, and then went limp in
Rhonda’s lap.
“How old are you?” Mouse asked,
probably to change the subject.
“Almost seven months,” the Cat
answered, and then, after looking like
she was thinking for a couple seconds,
added, “As a matter of fact, seven
months tonight.”
“Seven months!” Mouse said and
added, “That's amazing!”
“I know,” the Cat said, but that
didn’t stop her from continuing her
tale of terror.
“I was wrong, wrong, wrong about
the night-crew, except Amy. While one
of them was on the phone, the other was
turning the lights and cameras on.
After that, they started poking me, and
she tried to stop them.
“As soon as Frankie showed up, the
two assistants told him everything, and
he immediately got on the phone and
called everyone else in.
“While waiting for them to show
up, he got down near me and whispered
that either I talked this very minute,
or he’d drill a hole into my head, and
I’d never be able to say another
fucking thing for the rest of my short,
pain filled life.
“He even went and got a drill and
turned it on right near my ear.
