WTF!

Purrcival Pussycat went to sea in a beautiful pea-green boat. He took some honey and plenty of money, wrapped up in a five-pound note.

The moon peeped out from behind the clouds, revealing a sinister soul. "WTF! You're not The Owl!" protested Purrcival.

"Just call me Slash," it said.

"Oh dear," proclaimed Purrcival, "I must confess I didn't bring you any lunch...whatever you are."

"No matter. You'll do!" it screamed, burying its runcible spoon deep into Purrcival's preponderant paunch.

"I just love pussycats, especially when stewed with carrots and onions," it duly declared of the deftly dissected departed.

Fantastic Alan!

Love it! Welcome to Drablr, Alan. Let’s have more like this. The Drablr community seems to like a trip or seven to Dystopia! And, yours truly excepted, they seem to like cats too.

Loving the alliterations!

Me too. The alliterations are what I noticed first and they give such a nice flow to the story.
Poor Purrcival!

Very nice. A much-belated welcome to Drablr. I'm always a bit late to these welcoming parties!
