Match.Cat

by Ember Randall

They say cats have nine lives, but that's not quite right. Nine is more of an average--in reality, you get as many as Death gives you, which means it behooves any sensible cat to suck up while they can.

A snort echoed above me. "You look like one of those spoiled lap cats you're always deriding, you know."
