My Last Fight

My Last Fight


By SamanthaCat

I'm the superhero Jellicle. Yeah, you guessed right. I'm the GREAT Rumpus Cat. Okay, okay so I'm not so great...but I try.Anyways, here is a tale to remember (or should I say tail to remember? ha!):

It was getting late. I was catnapping in a small basement flat. And that's when I heard it. There was a battle raging on in that park. I was compelled to stop it. I groaned as I crawled out of the flat. The dogs saw me and ran away...except for one. A brown Pollicle (they hardly deserve to be capitolized) remained. He smelled liked blood. I yawned at him, but he stood his ground. For once, I was scared. I looked the sky and I gave a great leap, but he didn't scatter like sheep.

He advanced. I moved back; ready to crawl back inside and retire my position. But, if I left he would hurt the other Jellicles. He slashed his claw into the air. I yawned and lept, but he kept clawing the air. That was it. I jumped to him, but he caught me. He grabbed me and threw me off of him. My heart was pounding.

I landed on the ground in a heap with a bloody leg and an arm that was in a strange, broken position. My arm felt limp, but I got up and charge again. Bang! I was on the ground landing with a sickening CRUNCH. This wasn't right! I was losing the battle.

That was the end of it. Now, I'm in the Heaviside Lair; staring down at the place I once called home. And I can see the Jellicles holding a service for me. The Rum Tum Tugger is singing a song now:


The GREAT Rumpus Cat,
He did help us all!
The GREAT Rumpus Cat,
Scared dogs big and small!
The GREAT Rumpus Cat,
He met his a-match,
The GREAT Rumpus Cat,
Is no longer scratched!
Owwww!
The GREAT Rumpus Cat,
He loved all the others,
The GREAT Rumpus Cat,
Did treat us like brothers!
The GREAT Rumpus Cat,
Is in the Heaviside now,
The GREAT Rumpus Cat,
Just,
Took,
His,
Last,
Booooooooooooooooooooow!

The song is bringing tears to my eyes. Seeing them all down there; singing and crying makes me sad. I loved the cats. The song was true...I loved them like brothers. And now I'm dead...what's that? Life to the everlasting cat? I guess that's not me.
