100 Words for Five AM

In this secret dark, time is my cat toy. I peer at it, swat it here and there, turn my back on it, roll over and knead my claws into it, tease it into a far corner, and then pounce! My needle-sharp incisors sink deep and hold tight as I hiss in triumph, tossing back my cheshire ruff, my metaphorical tail twitching. Come daylight, I obey the clock like any good adult human, my carefully set reminders pinging out a routine of logical blocks, intentions set and checked off. But pre-dawn, chaos reigns, and I am its slinking mistress. #5amwritersclub
