The Silencer

A loud alarm call and the rush to see the cat. This is perhaps every day story. But sometimes, those calls are false. Not every call will take you into his realm. It is always his choice, always been so. No wonder they say, even if you haven’t seen him, he definitely has seen you. He does that every moment, silently looking over. Silent, very silent.

But that day wasn’t a false alarm call.

And in a rush of minutes, stood right before my eyes was the apex predator. I may be at the top of the food chain, or whatever Darwin’s laws says, but that moment wasn’t mine.
Did the time stood still?? No
Did the moment got froze?? No
Did the heart stop beating?? No

But what happened was silence. The whole adobe was just silent. The silence was so heavy that I think I heard noises - the noises in my head. Strange are those noises, even stranger they become when they scream instead of whispers.

Stood before me was those eyes which glow in dark, those jaws which has tasted more blood than my veins hold, those paws which has left more pug marks that I will ever see.

I screamed, loudly, top my vocal chord - but all was just subdued in me. No sound came out. Only his silence was holding over.

After all, he is the silencer.
