just another day in the country
on the back roads I’m all alone walking to improve my energy A text rings on my cellular phone “hey babe, what are you up too?” asks my ex, who wants me back I reply, “just started walking…” then suddenly, I stop in my tracks this man, he pulls up along side me I turn, looking him straight in the face I’m startled now as I meet a stranger he smiles and says, “how is your day?” immediately, I analyze this situation with woods on both sides of us there I’m unable to outrun him, or his vehicle I could reach for my gun, if surely I dare terror instantly grips my existence thinking my life he soon could take but he quickly realizes my resistance breaks out a smile that lightens his face with his eyes ahead into the future and a strong grasp firmly on the past he laughs as he speaks confidently “you and me… we are meant to last” just as quickly as he has intruded he speeds off, like a bat out of hell looking at me in his side view mirror he proclaims loudly, “I don’t kiss and tell!” shaken severely by this idiot’s audacity he obviously hasn’t a bit of shame and I couldn’t help but oddly wonder if he is serious about playing this game what kind of a man takes such a risk coming onto a woman he’s never met who all alone she has been struggling in a complex history that’s hard to forget well, I embed this jerk in my memory and begin walking at a faster pace wanting to get home in a hurry now needing to forget I ever saw his face then suddenly he drove again by me pulls off the road and there he sat staring, he watches me walk past him I just knew I was under his attack but again he did nothing against me he just wants me to feel his control and the last time I could see his eyes I felt his power take hold of my soul the rest of the walk I look behind me I’m afraid he’ll come for me again until finally I’m in my yard at home with much relief to be away from him unlocking the door I enter the foyer hang the keys in their normal place walk quickly to my desk and computer happy to be here, and believe I’m safe with mouse in hand, I click on my email as it quickly opens the first thing I see under ‘from’ it reads, “guess who this is?” under ‘subject’, “miss me yet?” glares at me incredulous, I sit back in my chair thoughts scrambling, what does he want how did he find me out there, and in here I feel like a mouse, the cat has finally caught… to be continued… ©AthenaRose01/06/13 |

If the rat knows its way around...It could lead the cat into a deep pit. Never let him see or feel his influence over your strength.

I've missed you, my friend... it's good to hear from you... thanks for stopping by... I think all he felt yesterday was my fear... even tho I tried to appear untouched by his unexpected presence... and he seemed to enjoy the power he had over me in the seclusion of these woods... I was so scared I even called and texted my ex to come save me from this stranger... but he didn't get my message for hours... so I could have been in serious trouble if he had true designs to hurt me... I just never know what's in the minds, and behind the actions of men who want what they want... |

Does the cat stand a chance? I've never seen a cat not catch his prey if he stays alert and is quick about it It's when he just teases it grabbing it in his teeth then dropping it to watch it run so he can chase after it in play that gives the mouse time to scope out the surroundings and find the nearest escape route then the chase and capture begins again another day in another place it just depends on how determined the cat is to get what he ultimately wants |

I think its Topsy Turvy and that the cat has fallen head over heels for the mouse which way the story will unfold in the poem still remains a mystery and it should remain a mystery so we keep waiting eagerly for you to write more :D
