Enjoy the banter between a wizard and his cat.
“Will you stop
lecturing me? First you hit me on the head and now you
lecture me,” I moaned as I grabbed the soda can and pressed against my
forehead.
“You hit
yourself. And stop using regular junk as channels. Breaking stuff is not in
your best interest; you’re already behind on your rent,” Amaymon continued,
clearly enjoying himself.
“It was a
critical situation,” I replied weakly.
“Critical, my
tail.”
“Amaymon,
you’re an immortal demon trapped in a cat’s body. Are you really gonna bitch
about the rent?”
I remember this exchange. It was funny then, as it is now. :D
ReplyDeleteCats are disagreeable no matter WHAT resides in that furry skin.
ReplyDeleteThe set-up alone piqued my interest. The cat's tone cracked me up (though it makes sense considering it's a demon), but the last line is golden. :)
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated. :D
DeleteA wizard and a demon cat arguing about the rent - How isn't that literary gold? "My tail!" - great line.
ReplyDeleteRight? Why aren't publishers eating this up? Also, thanks :D
DeleteI can picture this cat in a sort of "Shrek" character kind of way. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteMay be a demon is a cat's body, but it sure knows how to act like a cat.
ReplyDeleteDemon...cat...what's the difference? Love the humor!
ReplyDeleteGreat! :-D
ReplyDelete“Amaymon, you’re an immortal demon trapped in a cat’s body. Are you really gonna bitch about the rent?”
ReplyDeleteGreat line... and somehow, I bet the answer is yes. Yes, he is gonna bitch. :D
“Amaymon, you’re an immortal demon trapped in a cat’s body. Are you really gonna bitch about the rent?”
ReplyDeleteI second Ann's comment - you come up with the coolest lines. Love it!
Went back and read last week's snippet - love them both. Cats (and demons) can be extraordinarily supercilious. Amaymon may be demonic, but he's thoroughly feline. A really good sequence!
