The cat kept screaming endlessly in the kitchen: the owner was about to swat him with a rag, but the cat wasn’t crying out for no reason…
The apartment was supposed to be quiet.
My sister had left for her two-week vacation that morning, trusting me to stay in her place and look after her orange tabby, Milo. She warned me he was “a bit dramatic,” but I figured that was just typical cat behavior.
By evening, I wasn’t feeling well.
A pounding headache, a blocked nose, chills running through my body. By nightfall, my fever had spiked, and all I wanted was to collapse onto the bed and sleep.
