[ Short story by Purri ]
As the hours of twilight fell past their curtain, and the embers of lamp light were all that illuminated the middle passage of their book, Purri allowed a yawn. It was well past bedtime and with it came all the weariness that enclosed their eyes like so many lapping waves... but it was just a little too warm for blankets, still.
Purri was not the one most affected by this warmth, however. Great saline boulders traveled down the craggy walls of one particular guest, housed by thick, leathery canyons that they had come to learn the lay of. As his literal landlord’s toes flexed and scrunched in relaxation, the earth yawned apart and canyons widened, bathing just a little more of the dark, worn earth with artificial light before the digits’ eventual relaxation swallowed the micro in shadow once more.
“Comfy back there?” came that familiar thunder, a rumbling purr, without so much as a tilt of its speaker’s head behind them.
There was no response, for none could be heard anyway. What few words spoken by the godly feline were comprehensible at such a scale rattled his tenant inside and out, head to tail, making his heart skip a few beats. Each syllable was raw divinity--how could he be worthy?
A soft, knowing smile. “Good.”
