The Baby
#WritcoStoryPrompt9
The cry was faint but I heard loud and clear it as I walked past the dark bushes. My steps faltered. It was late and I wasn’t sure if it was a smart thing to stop and inspect the source. Curiousity overtook me and I looked inside the bushes. I peered inside to see two litte eyes staring back.

A little kitten mewing. It was black as night. I looked around for any sign of the mamma, only to find not far away the corpse of a larger white cat. I picked up the little kitten and put it in my pocket, then continued to walk home.

Once home I warmed a makeshift bottle riged out of a rubber glove and a glass with cows milk microwaved from the fridge. I discover it's a little boy. His name is Cole. This is going to be a long night.
