We arrived at the banquet in no time at all. It was only 6:30 by the time we got there. Was the cat really invited to the banquet?
Just as I was about to enter, something big past by me. I watched as it passed, too transfixed on it as it disappeared. What was it? I wondered. It was for surely not a normal animal.
“Ma’am!” one of the maids said, pulling my shirt sleeve.
I turned to face her. “Yes?” I asked. Her face was chalk white and eyes as big as saucers saw throw me.
“W-we should go in,” she stuttered.
“You may go home,” I said, waving them off. They didn’t want to be here, I could tell. They ran back and I watched them run.
I turned to face the door and took a breath. I opened the door and walked in. Everyone seemed to have mixed feeling, but went right away, seeing the first appearance of the rat of the zodiac.
