That Special Boy
William was a special child. He was quiet and he did not speak a single word except to his cats but the words he spoke did not come from his mouth, it came from his heart. If dragons can breathe fire, William would make his cats talk.
He has 7 of them. All of them white and they never left his side since they were kittens. These cats would be with him wherever he went. It is always William and his 7 cats. William thought they were special, just like him. He love them more than he love himself. He would ‘speak’ to them and sleep with them.
His cats were his companions and best friends. One day, one of his cats did not wake up. He was devastated. The garden behind his house became the resting place for her. One by one his cats went to eternal slumber. It dawned upon him, these cats were no ordinary cats. On the 7th day, he know his time was up, he covered himself in his quilt, and with his memories of his best friends, he took one last sleep.
