Prologue

Prologue to my book

year 3042

The ashes danced in the air as the little orange kittens paws disturbed their resting place on the empty streets of London. Its yellow eyes gleamed in the fires ever burning. The kitten played with the golden embers drifting down like snow upon the once crowded city. Its ears perked up at the muffled sound of heavy footsteps. the small animal scurried on instinct into the shadow of Big Ben, now a skeleton of the past. Panting, it fell onto its side, cushoned by the thick ash that covered every street. Eyes closed, chest heaving, it tried to regain energy. Then, a sharp crack, like a dry thick tree branch being snapped in two. The sound came from the direction of a charred metal frame, the remains of some prior form of transportation. Cautiously, the kitten backed away, trying to conceal itself behind the ashen wreckage that littered the ground. It let out a horrid screech as the cold, snow white hands grabbed it from behind. It scratched and bit until its paws were stained crimson, hissing and swiping at the porcelain masked face. The kitten's vision blurred, feeling the icy pain of the steel blade ripping from its chest down its belly. The crack of small bones rang through the smokey air as the masked figure squeezed the lifeless animal's blood into the slit for a mouth.

Aaaaw I didn't like the kitten dying. I love cats. They're my favorite animals. Or at least they're tied with sharks. Haha. Actually, I thought this was an interesting piece. It caught my attention when it started talking about the kitten. The way that it was written was beautiful. The simple colors that you used were vibrant in my mind as all the events took place. Also, it makes me curious to what is going to happen next becuase this not allowed much view into the plot. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing in general. But personally, I liked that about this prologue.
