I love games. Chase the string, vanquish the dust mote, sleep all day. All classics. But I must say that cat and mouse is my favorite. What good is a game if the stakes aren't high? It's not much of a game at all.

I find that sometimes it's difficult to keep myself in one piece. Don't you feel the same way? You just can't be sure of who you are and you find yourself slowly unraveling until one day, you wake up and you're gone.

You may not know it yet, but I have something you want. Something you need more than breathing.

Now now, don't ask me for it. It wouldn't be any fun if I just gave it to you.You'll have to earn it.

Don't ask me how, either. I want to watch you figure it out and laugh my smug-kitty laugh.

Now you ought to know better than this, getting things so confused. How do you expect to move forward if you keep turning around barkwards?

Well, of course, if you turn around, then your back is now your front. No matter which way you go, you're always going forward. You really do ask a lot of silly questions, don't you?

So many different voices. So much chatter. But I wonder.

Are you really understanding what you're hearing? Do you really mean what you say?

No, don't tell me the answer. It's more fun to guess.
