From That Day Forth - Into a Tailspin
Barry watched in horror as his crooked neighbor grabbed a woman who was walking on the sidewalk in front of the house, holding a hand over her mouth and dragging her inside his house.
Barry rushed inside and called the police. They showed up, and were able to arrest his neighbor. Later on, they thanked him, for they found that he was about to abuse her.
A week later, it was a Tuesday, and Barry was taking out the trash. He walked to the curb, and feeling watched, he turned around. A pair of golden eyes peered back at him, and he realized they belonged to Mr. Fluffykins, his neighbor's cat.
He usually was fine with cats, but there was a certain way that this cat looked at him made him uneasy. So Barry rushed inside, and closed all the curtains.
On Wednesday, he was reading his newspaper on his porch, and the unsettling feeling of being watched returned. There stood the cat, eyes focused on him with malice. Barry went inside and locked his door.
Thursday night brought nightmares of the creepy cat, and Barry tossed and turned. Drenched in sweat, he opened his eyes. He then jumped because on his dresser was the cat, emitting a hissing sound that Barry knew was not a good sign.
