Chapter 3: "From the Shadows"
Hidden in a shadow in the corner of the room spoke a man that I hadn't noticed.
"I anticipated that this would happen."
He walked slowly and deliberately into the light and handed me a cage holding my beloved red tabby "Cheshire." I opened the cage and let my cat out. He followed me everywhere, so there was no need to worry about losing him.
I wondered who the mysterious stranger was, and when I walked up to him to thank him for my cat, I saw his nametag. Oh, dear.
There he was before me: the Dark Lord of American capitalism. CEO of evil. Head of the most monstrous corporation on Earth. The Boss of Monsanto. Holy fuck. I backed away as he softly chuckled.
Then the rest of the evil crowd in the room began to chuckle, too. The evil chorus of snickers reminded me of being bullied in my junior high school cafeteria. But I had an ally! Cheshire hopped up on top of the table, did his best dog-lifting-leg imitation, and shot the CEO of Monsanto right in the crotch. Cheshire always knows who to hit first. The Dark Lord sputtered and announced to everyone that he would kill the cat, but Cheshire had done his usual and had seemingly vanished into thin air.
While everyone else stared in dead silence at the wet spot on the Dark Lord's crotch, I began to giggle. Soon I just could not help myself and broke out into a long, loud laugh.
