I stared at the corner of the panel on the wall. What was that cat doing there? I felt like i had to touch it. I was entranced and my hand sluggishly touched it.

    "Oh okay, uh.. what does that sign over there mean?" I point to the glitched sign on the opposite wall. The system is silent for several minutes before making strange noises, of the various noises, I heard something (or someone) shatter.

    The cat!


    The cat was back in the corner!


    I poked it and it expanded to a huge wad of text that I couldn''t read, then it flew off the page in chains and started flying towards my forehead. I was unnerved about it entering my head so I took a step back, it kept flying towards me, I started backing up as it kept coming. It became a game of cat and mouse and the strange letters were getting faster and faster, soon enough I was running at full speed. I was starting to get anxious that I was going to get caught by the creepy flying language but I was determined to put in my best effort to avoid it as long as I could.
