Ellie opened one eye slowly, still half asleep. She lay with a few other loner cats in an abandoned two-leg nest near the barn, trying to get a peaceful night's rest. The setting seemed perfect; crickets were chirping in the field outside, she had eaten a generous meal before she fell asleep, and the room was so warm and cozy...
Now thinking about it, why was the room so warm? Prying her head off of her comfy nest of hay, she glanced around the room. Nothing out of the ordinary seemed to be happening, cats were sleeping and the first orange rays of the rising sun were slipping through the window. But...isn't it still nighttime? Ellie thought in confusion, rubbing her eyes with a paw. Now that the tabby could see more clearly, she pinned her ears flat against her head and leapt from her nest.
"F-fire!" the she-cat wailed, backing away from the rapidly growing flames. "Fiiire!"
