Fearless he zapped through the city everyday, in bright sun-lit streets or the sun's shadow cast alleys.
There was nothing in this world he feared; no ghost, no criminal he might encounter, or, even enemies.
In his face as the winds blast, he enjoyed his trips, speeding fast.
Delivering parcels and happiness, getting daily tips he so looked forward.
But only one thing scared him the most that he'd increase his speed till his surroundings blurred; even his tip he's willing to forfeit.
The fear was real, not false nor fake; because, encountering that tiny feline was his nightmare big.

DeleteDear Nandini,
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine why that little cutie frightened him, but we all have our phobias, don't we? Cute story.
Shalom,

Funny! Not so funny for anyone with a fear of cats though. They are sharp! And unpredictable, as my dog has found out.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he was a mouse.
ReplyDeletethanks so much @everyone
ReplyDeletesome kind of a chink in his armor. hopefully, he'd be able to get rid of this phobia.
ReplyDeleteNicely woven six! While we love cats here (have 4 of them), I seriously respect that many people are afraid, and that's fine. I hope he did not meet up with the cat.
ReplyDeleteYes, we have... had cats. Now it's the neighbour cat :)))
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing
Oh I love this, the ending wasn't quite what I expected ~~ and a delight!
ReplyDeleteThose tiny kitties can be surprisingly ferocious! 🐈🐆😄
ReplyDeleteSo he's reckless, but also cat-phobic?

Hehe! Made me giggle. I love kitties, though! How could he not??? :) -Angela
ReplyDeleteWell-written, Nandini, and he has a valid concern. Those small obstacles while going fast can cause a lot of harm.
