A few months after I had moved into my apartment, I awoke at 5am to find the adjacent building ablaze. The fire consumed most of the structure, and the city promptly condemned it. A few days ago I went up on my roof to check it out. One could see inside quite clearly through the holes where there had once been windows. The skeletal remains of the supporting beams were charred, and some barely recognizable furniture lay strewn about several of the ex-domiciles.
There was one sign of life: a small grey cat. It sat quietly, perched on the counter of what looked to be a disheveled kitchen. Someone had placed a bowl of water nearby, and above the bowl they had tacked a sign. It read:
Hey human-
Got some food to spare for a cat that's down on his luck? In exchange, I'll keep the roof free of rodents.
[paw print]
I just hope the families that had to flee their homes in the middle of the night found a guardian angel too.
