A Cat Drove Me Home
My shift at the café was supposed to end at 11:00 PM.
​
But, as my terrible luck would have it, my coworker arrived two hours late, at 1:00 AM.
​
I was furious.
​
I missed the bus, and my options were grim: wait until dawn, or hitchhike—something I despised.
​
I considered sleeping in the café, but feared my strict manager.
​
Left with no choice, I stood on the desolate edge of the Tamiami Trail in Florida, dreading the dark night.
​
After thirty minutes, a small, white refrigerated truck stopped.
​
It looked like a meat van.
​
A dark aura radiated from it, but exhaustion silenced my instincts.
​
I climbed inside.
​
The driver wore a heavy coat, absurd for Florida, and a tilted hat obscuring his face.
​
From the side, I could only see a thick, unnaturally coarse beard that hid his jaw.
​
Horror set in when he spoke. His voice was a raspy, malicious growl.
​
The cabin reeked, like breath that had never known toothpaste mixed with raw meat.
​
Fifteen minutes passed in suffocating silence.
​
Hoping to ease my racing heart, I tried to break the ice.
​
Before I spoke, his raspy voice cut through the dark. "There's a piece of cheese in the bag. Hand it to me."
​
I grabbed it, but he didn't reach out. "Feed me. Extend your hand... I will take it with my mouth."
​
As a woman in my mid-twenties, I knew hitchhiking alone at night was a terrible mistake.
​
Terrified of angering him, my trembling hand offered the cheese.
​
He leaned in. A tongue met my skin.
​
It wasn't human. It was abrasive, like rough sandpaper.
​
He licked the cheese, emitting a deep purr.
"Mmm," he rumbled. "Delicious. Your scent is attractive... I love your scent mixed with cheese."
​
Panic completely consumed me.
​
I pulled out my phone. No service. Desperate, I faked a call to my brother. "Hey, I’m close. I’m in a white refrigerated truck, wait outside," I lied, hoping to scare him.
​
He let out a guttural, evil laugh. "No need to lie... your scent worsens when you lie."
​
Suddenly, muffled crying and desperate scratching echoed from the refrigerated back.
​
Someone was trapped there.
​
Before I could even react to that, a massive, furry tail emerged from the darkness.
​
It was like a cat’s tail, but monstrously huge.
​
It slithered up my leg, coiling around my waist, creeping up to rest against my chest, feeling my frantic heartbeat.
​
That suffocating touch broke my paralysis.
​
As the truck slowed for a speed bump, pure survival instinct took over.
​
I shoved the massive tail off my chest, yanked the door handle, and jumped out of the moving vehicle.
​
I slammed hard into the cold, harsh asphalt, rolling into the gravel.
​
Bleeding, I scrambled to my feet and sprinted blindly toward a distant gas station, never daring to look back.
​
I survived that horrific night, but the memory of that sandpaper tongue, the muffled cries, and that monstrous tail haunts me forever.
