Chasing the Mysterious Cat
It was an ordinary afternoon when I was strolling near the school playground. Suddenly, a black-and-white cat darted past the corner of the school building. My curiosity was piqued, and I quietly followed it. The cat slipped through the corridor and disappeared near the oldest building in the school.
As I followed, I found myself stepping into a restricted area I had never noticed before. The air was filled with a strange aura. Just as I was looking around, a massive, ancient door suddenly appeared before me.
The Other Side of the Door
The towering door was covered in strange symbols. I reached out, and to my astonishment, it slowly opened. A blinding white light poured out, forcing me to shut my eyes.
When I opened them again, I was falling from the sky!
"Ahhh—!"
I landed on soft grass and realized I was no longer in school. Instead, I was in a vast, primitive world. Towering ferns loomed over me, and the cat sat on a rock, licking its paw.
A Talking Cat and a Dinosaur World
"What are you... exactly?" I asked, approaching the cat. Before I could reach it, a deep rumbling sound shook the ground.
Boom—Boom—
A gigantic dinosaur stomped past! Each step made the earth tremble. I held my breath as cold sweat trickled down my back.
"Relax. They're not interested in us."
"Who said that?!" I spun around in shock.
The cat was staring at me with golden eyes.
It... spoke?!
"You're now in the age of dinosaurs, and this world is in trouble—water is running out. If we don't find a new water source soon, this place will turn into a wasteland."
Searching for Water
I looked around at the dried-up riverbeds and withering plants. The cat wasn’t joking.
"But how can I find water here?"
The cat leaped onto a rock and tapped it with its tail. A deep, hollow echo resonated.
"Underground," the cat murmured.
I knelt and pressed my ear to the ground. A faint rumbling reached me.
"There's water beneath us!" I exclaimed.
"Yes," the cat nodded. "But it's trapped, and the dinosaurs can’t reach it."
Unlocking the Water Source
I spotted a peculiar mountain in the distance—it resembled an upside-down funnel.
"There! If we can break through the underground water path, the water will flow out!"
The cat nodded and led me toward the mountain. At its base, I found a concealed cave with damp walls, a sign that water was nearby.
But we needed to break the rock.
The cat flicked its tail toward a massive dinosaur in the distance, its heavy tail dragging along the ground.
I grabbed a stone and hurled it near the dinosaur’s feet. Startled, the beast roared and stomped forward. Its immense weight shook the ground, and as it reached the mountain base—
Boom!
Its colossal tail slammed into the rocky wall.
"Crack—"
A fissure appeared!
Water gushed out, streaming down the mountain and forming a clear, flowing river.
Dinosaurs rushed over, eagerly drinking the life-saving water. The land, once dying, was coming back to life.
The cat looked at me. "You have fulfilled your mission."
Returning and Keeping the Secret
Suddenly, a familiar force pulled me backward. Before I knew it, I was standing in front of the school’s mysterious door again. The door slowly shut and vanished completely. On the windowsill, the black-and-white cat lounged, watching me with its golden eyes. It blinked slowly, as if acknowledging what had just happened.
From that day on, I never found that door again. I told others, but no one believed me. In the end, I kept the secret to myself. But sometimes, late at night, I think about that world… The prehistoric age, the golden-eyed cat, and the secret door that led me there.
