The Arduous Journey

I feel slightly guilty, but barely-slightly if that makes sense. Mike and Julie have kept good care of me. My problem is, I have commitment issues. I can't stay in one place for too long. Plus, humans sometimes annoy me - for one, they keep giving me things to put on my hat. (what's that about?) I pretend to like it. It's like they think it is cute or adorable or something. Ugh.

So, I’m moving out.


It requires a lot of time and stamina for me to travel seeing as I’m very small, and old. That’s why it’s taken me so long to get from the window sill to the street. It took me a whole month to cut a hole that was undetectable enough so the humans wouldn’t notice, and 15 minutes to repair once I was out. I trudged onward on my squat yet sturdy legs to the hedge and rested. I contemplated the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Without even noticing it I sauntered right out of the complex.

The arduous journey lasted a week (if you’re wondering, I went unnoticed out there in the open because I am deftly sneaky). I’m going to travel a little faster now that I’m no longer a house pet, so I think I’ll catch a bus…
