Our cat scratches at the mirror every night . We joke that she is trying to go into the other dimension . One night , she does . [ WP ]

“ Look at Maggie go! ” Jeffrey said, taunting me as I clawed at the portal. “ What does she thinks on the other side of that mirror? Another cat? ” 
 
 “ Jeff, make sure he doesn ’ t break it. It looks like it ’ s about to shatter, ” warned his wife Macy. 
 
 “ Nah…she does this every night. ” 
 
 “ If you say so… ” They crept a bit closer to me, and immediately my ears perked up. However, they made no move to stop me, so I continued clawing. I saw the portal shudder slightly, and I knew I was breaking down the defenses. Soon I would be able to return to my kingdom. 
 
 “ Jeff, that mirror is expensive, ” groaned Macy, walking towards me. “ Imagine if he breaks it. ” 
 
 “ All right. If you ’ re really afraid, then I ’ ll stop her. Maggie! Maggie, come to daddy! ” 
 
 Usually I would stop clawing at this point, but the portal was almost open. I continued to scratch away. Suddenly the mirror shattered, and light flooded into the room. The humans covered their eyes. 
 
 “ Jeffrey! Jeffrey, grab him! ” screamed Macy. Jeffrey bolted forward, extending his hands to grab me. I leapt forward and into the portal. However, before I could fully pass through, Jeff wrapped his hands around me. I hissed in protest, and with all my strength pushed forward. I tumbled through the portal and onto the other side. Unfortunately, so did Jeffrey. 
 
 He sat up, moaning, and staggered towards the portal, trying to walk through it, but he had been too late. The mirror had solidified. 
 
 “ Well, Jeffrey, you ’ ve done it, ” I said, and his eyes widened. This was the first time I ’ d ever spoken to him. 
 
 “ D-done what? ” he stuttered. 
 
 “ You ’ re the first human to enter our world. ” I wheeled around and shook my head. “ Why, Jeff! Why did you have to come? Now, the Great Cat-astrophe shall commence! ” 
 
 
 I hope you all enjoyed that short piece. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
