[ WP ] You are scrolling through r/WritingPrompts , when this very prompt catches your attention . Intrigued by it 's meta nature , you debate with yourself whether or not you 'll write about it .

I grab my Batman coffee cup off the counter and take a small sip on the way to the couch. Just a bit too strong, but I could use the extra jolt. Today at work was n't horrible but my aching back does n't seem to believe that. I snuggle in and pick up my phone to check the time. Extra hour of sleep or extra hour of reddit? Easy choice. ( Yeah I'm drinking coffee right before bed, fight me. ) 
 
 My front page reveals the same posts as ten minutes ago. Ok, time to pick a sub and scroll around for new content. Askreddit? Eh only a few decent questions. Not in the mood for scary stories, rants, or... what is this when did I...? Oops. -*unsubscribe*- 
 
 You know for how much is on here I still end up seeing the same stuff. I dramatically flick my finger upwards in exasperation, taking me down to the bottom of the list. Writing prompts? Well it's worth a shot. It's front page reveals a few interesting prompts, with some excellent replies already. I browse through debating if I'm going to answer any when one catches my attention. `` You are scrolling through r/WritingPrompts...'' 
 
 Well, yes... yes I am. I chuckle at myself before continuing. `` When this very prompt...'' I give my phone a curious look, and take other sip of coffee. Shit what does meta mean? I should know what that means. It's one of those words you know, you just do n't *know*... you know? Anyway sounds interesting. 
 
 I mean, I have a general idea of a story, but should you really reply if you're not % 100 sure you know what the prompt is? I could just Google it... ug but that involves closing reddit and opening goggle and all that just... maybe I will just go to sleep. 
 
 My jerk of a cat knocks my keys off the coffee table. `` Hey! Knock that shit off... or wait do n't knock it off....whatever this is my angry tone you know what it means.'' She meows and looks at the keys laying on the floor. `` Yeah man, those are mine. Where's your toy?'' While Smokey was born a cat, she was raised around dogs and picked up a lot of their habits. Sit, stay, toy, up, down,... and she knows `` no'' but also knows how to pretend she did n't hear me. 
 
 Smokey meows again and jumps down, sneaking under the entertainment center to pull out one of her cat nip mice. `` Good girl! Happy tone!'' She drops it at my feet, then jumps back on the table and quickly bats the remote off the table. `` Really? I know you're technically a cat, but you act like a dog for everything else, why is *this* the cat thing you kept?'' 
 
 She jumps up and licks my cheek with her tiny sandpaper tongue. I scratch behind her ears as she pants and purs... if you've never heard a cat do that it's freaking adorable. I drink the last of my coffee and realize my phone screen has blacked out. What was I doing again? 
 
 I hit the button and swipe my phone lock screen. Reddit pops up for just a second before a message appears. 
 
 `` LOW BATTERY. Plug in now to avoid phone shutting down'' 
 
 Aw crap forgot to charge my phone. Ah well I should get to bed anyway. 
 
 `` LOW BATTERY POWERING DOWN''
