The cat on the mantle was conducting experiments

  • The cat on the mantle was conducting experiments in gravity. It was trying to prove the hypothesis, "If you push something hard enough, it will fall over."
  • But, there was one single problem. Which object could be pushed without drawing the ire of the landlord? The cat examined her surroundings, desperate for an object to push.
  • The cat was desperate on a level that feline's should never go. The object of her desire was always just beyond her paw. Her desperation made her crouch and just stare, transfixed

  • I quickly shoved the compact into my purse & snapped it shut to drown out its voice. I wasn't the fairest of them all, I wasn't good enough, I wasn't...I wasn't WHITE enough.
  • If only I was whiter than this. The world would be complete. Instead I sit here upon my throne of lies and watch the world burn. This is my story. This is my fate. It is not mine.
