Captain Jack the World's Smartest Cat
February 5th 2007 08:28
This is something I knocked up for my writers group, we had to include a cat, denim jacket and a wine glass, so thought I would write something just a bit different from what I normally do.

Captain Jack, the world’s smartest cat!
Iso-Physics Lab 189, somewhere in a very secret location, known only to a few select personal and the author of course!
‘Technician, how are the tests for the new anti matter generator progressing’ a voice asked through the electronic speaker from the viewing window, the crackle of electric making the words sound slightly distorted.
One of the figures working around the large machine turned and walked closer to the window. ‘Madam President, we are on schedule to begin our first test, with all systems showing a go’ the technician replied at the woman standing on the other side of the window.
‘Permission to proceed with the test then’ she replied before being escorted to the control room on the next level.
She watched intrigued as the scientists went about their work, hoping to god that they would see some result from the billions that had been spent on the project so far.
She didn’t fully understand the concept but she needed something to push her approval rating higher than her challenger Senator Cruise.
The technicians all left the lab, just leaving the large grey bulk of the generator sitting in the middle of the lab.
Minutes passed, then 10, 20 and nothing seemed to be happening, she was just about to say something when all the measuring instruments in the room began to register a massive energy increase on their readouts.
It was a success and Hillary couldn’t resist a smile at the thought of how the discovery of unlimited cheap energy would create a landslide win in the next presidential election.
‘Sorry we only have wine glasses’ one of the techs said passing one to her before opening a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
‘That’s okay, you deserv’ the words stopping in mid sentence as the wine glass slipped from her fingers, smashing on to the hard floor.
Everyone was looking at the bright swirling light that was forming in the lab.
‘What the hell’ one of the security team shouted in alarm, reaching for his uzi.
They all watched in fascination as a hole appeared in its centre and a cat wearing a denim jacket jumped through and onto the floor.
The cat wandered around looking at its surroundings before standing up on its rear legs and looked up at the people looking in amazement at it.
‘Can you understand me?’ the cat asked.
Everyone looked at each other before one of the techs replied ‘Yes we can, who are you and where are you from?’
‘I am Captain Jack and I come from the future to tell you that all things are possible with your invention’. And with that the cat jumped into the centre of the swirling light and was gone.
‘What was that?’ One of the guards asked.
‘I think it was a cat’ one of the techs replied.
‘Now isn’t the time to be smart’ Hillary said brisqly raising an eyebrow before adding ‘What about the bright light?’
‘It would be my guess that it’s a wormhole through time’ the tech replied.
