Hands in the air (a very short story)

Harry gulped. His heart pounded inside his chest as he reached his hands into the air.

This was his chance.

He knew he only had a moment to react

or he would miss his opportunity.

He never knew it would happen exactly like this….

but he had trained,

he had practiced.

He knew he was prepared

and he was ready to face the challenge.

That was the day when Harry was finally chosen…

by a cat.
