Caliginous’s breath misted in front of his face as he walked slowly down the silent streets. Since his mother’s death and his father’s disappearance, Caliginous took to sleeping in the attic of a friend’s house and spending his days working at a cafe down the street from his abode.
Caliginous paused in front of the store he used worked at. Small little coffee shop. The type hipsters and poets hung out at. He smiled wryly. It was comfortable, quiet, and homely. Until he had gotten fired, anyway.
Caliginous shook his head and kept walking, each step muffled by the furry paw pads. Caliginous was lost in the thought of his work, his parents, and his future. He’d be a legal adult in a week. What would he do now?
“Get myself an apartment and keep trying to find work, I guess,” Caliginous whispered to himself, his ears drooping. He was so lonely. He had his friend that he was staying with, but that was all.
His ears perked up when he heard a weak chirp from the alley a bit in front of him. He trotted forward and stood in front of the shallow, dimly lit alleyway. He really hated alleys. They reminded him of his father’s disappearance, for some reason. Another weak tweet spurred him forward, scouring the alleyway for the bird.
Caliginous gasped when he caught the eye of a large alley cat. It was obvious the cat was a very successful hunter, despite being abandoned. He was thick and muscular. In his mouth was a small sparrow. Caliginous ran forward with a scream, grabbed the cat around his middle and prying his mouth open. The bird fell into his hand as the cat ran off, hissing and spitting at its attacker.
Caliginous returned to the sidewalk and checked on the bird. It was already dead. He hung his head with a soft sigh. He had been too late. As he jostled the bird, a few feathers fell off the body. He picked up the feathers and pocketed them before playing the bird back in the alley, a dinner for the cat.
Caliginous thrusted his hand in his pocket and scowled as he fisted his hands around the feathers, “Just a testament to another failure.”
Theme song:Secrets by One Republic. I feel that both the lyrics and the tune of this song represent this Kia perfectly. Like the song suggests, I feel that this Kia is just trying to do something good with his life, and wants to be true to himself.
I'm Still Here by John Rzeznik. Again, I feel both the tune and the lyrics represent to the Kia in that he feels the world is stepping all over him, and he knows he needs to break away, and now he's just trying to figure out how.
