The Sidewalk I Once Knew

A fanfiction one-shot by Laurelcloud who has forgotten how to use Wikia and hopefully won't break this page.

The Sidewalk I Once Knew
Small paws padded across an empty intersection. Lights flashed overhead, representing a once-busy world. What to do when you're the only one braving the cold... wait, obviously. You're never the only one braving the cold. A cat of impressive stature crossed towards the younger tabby, who was currently staring at the icy field. It once was said that black is simply the absense of color. Now it seemed that it was ominous and full. The darkness wasn't absent; it was swallowing everything. Snow coated the emptiness. "Why are you here?" asked the cat, "Why are you standing so still upon the sidewalk I once knew?" The tabby did not respond, but seemed to become more silent than before. The silence relented, stating, "Questions are more worthless than the concrete you used to rest your paws upon." The tabby turned towards the cat, "You're here anyway. Why not look around a bit?" "Look at what? The snow that's eating up our warmth? I--" The cat quieted as a single flake touched to the ground. "We are alone. Alone and lost in our own home." Sitting down next to the tabby, they agreed to survive this together. Someday it would be warm. Someday wasn't never.
