A series of sketches I made a few years ago, based on the musical CATS. They cover fragments from the time when Demeter was kidnapped by Macavity – and returned, more dead than alive...
I thought up way more but most of it slipped away and I don't think I'm going to reconstruct it anytime soon. I know these parts leave much unsaid but it might in fact encourage your imagination.
In any case, these pieces have been my introduction to fanfiction. Enjoy!
*Rain*
Still the rain poured down, a grey curtain wrapping itself around till fur would have been transformed into a thick, soaked coat.
A shadow appeared on the cardboard boxes that marked one side of the Square.
"He's back," Alonzo announced and made his way towards the shades.
Munkustrap was back. At last. He carried her in his arms. Gus galloped quickly to Munkustrap and within seconds Bombalurina came rushing out of the Bathtub. The three of them met and remained speechless, struck as they were by the sight of the two shades.
Munkustrap did not move. The body in his arms did not either.
"Is she..." Bomba's tears mingled with the raindrops on her cheeks.
"Let me–" Gus stretched out his arms but Munkustrap, who looked two years older than before he had left, glared at him and backed away. There was no recognition in his eyes. His face, usually a light grey marked by fierce, black stripes, now resembled the mask of a white tiger. He was staggering on his feet.
Alonzo, Bombalurina and Gus quickly exchanged some anxious glances; then Gus, pulling himself together, stepped forward and fatherly pushed Munkustrap in the direction of the Caravan.
