Midnight Run - Part I

It was past midnight. Somewhere around 12:52 AM.

“Angel, please stop! Angel!”

The teenager’s heart kept screaming in his hoarse voice.

Making sure to blink in time and in accordance so that the slogged eyes do not lose the angel of his eyes.

The street lights played up with his heartbeat as he saw Angel running through while the cars honked at her. “Cyrus, stop! You cannot catch her!”

His mom, Heather, tries to slow him down by patting his back.

“Catch your breath, honey. Angel will come back as she learns that wherever she is, it’s not home.”

Cyrus hugs his mom and cries with each breath.

“How difficult is it to lose someone, Mom?”

“You didn’t lose her, dear. She surely will return. Cats often tend to run away when they become familiar with loud noises or sounds, especially due to fear of other animals.”

Angel has always been home and around care. Certainly, she got scared by the noises yesterday.

“But I tried to protect her as best as possible the past few days.”

“I know, dear! Let’s get home. It’s already too late.”
