Uvalde school massacre: A cat-astrophic event that left me feline different
It was a regular school day in Uvalde, until tragedy struck. A lone gunman, who shall remain nameless, entered the school and started shooting. Chaos ensued as students and teachers tried to escape the building. As I watched the news coverage from the safety of my living room, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of sadness and anger. Why did this have to happen? Why do we live in a world where such senseless violence occurs? But as the days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months, I started to notice something strange happening within myself. I was becoming more...cat-like. My once-human thoughts and actions were being replaced by feline instincts. I found myself hissing at loud noises, licking my paws obsessively, and even meowing instead of speaking. At first, I was scared. Was I losing my mind? But then, I started to realize that maybe this was my body's way of coping with the trauma. Maybe I needed to become more like a cat in order to protect myself from the horrors of the world. It's been a year since the Uvalde school massacre, and I'm not sure if I'll ever fully return to my human form. But that's okay. Because as a cat, I feel more in tune with the world around me. I can sense danger before it arrives, and I can comfort others with a simple purr. The year that changed meow has also changed my perspective on life, and for that, I am grateful.
