At the edge the dirt driveway of the home I grew up in, was a construction area, soaking wet in the rain. The hole was maybe 10 feet deep and 5 long, muddy and
somewhat collapsed. Construction tape and a pole or
something in the hole with a few people looking down
in it. There are cats trapped in the dirt. Out climbs
Hugo, dirty and orange. Then out climbs a larger
orange cat. Big paws, wide tongue, like a miniature
lion. I think "It's a male version of Hugo." I don't
realize until I wake up that Hugo is male and think
the first cat must be my roomates [Tiger} and the big
one was Hugo. But wait, Tiger is a male too... Finally
more dirt stirs and out comes Sped. Tiny, wet, cold. I
then notice a set up across the drive of over 30
digital video cameras, set low to the ground. Every
News Station is there capturing the rescue. They want
me to get out of the picture so they can "film" Sped.
I flip them off saying, "This is my fucking cat!" and
walk away with her little damp body in my arms.
