" I guess that I have to do something about this little green vial, so I guess the best thing to do would be to drink it! " the brash young man decided. Taking a big swig, he drank the whole thing in one gulp. He waited for a few minutes, but nothing, accept a stomach ache, happened. " Ooohhh, I just need to go home, " the man said, clutching his hurting stomach. Walking a bit father, he realized he would never make it all the way home.
Seeing the entance to a small, dark trash-can-filled alleyway, he made his way in. Suddenly realizing how tired he really is, he eventually comes to the conclusion that he will just have to say there for the rest of the night. Sleep becomes overpowering... ... ...

{ Where am I? } the small jet, black cat thought as he slowly rose from his sitting position. { Why am I in an alleyway? } Confused, he slowly felt the urge to rid himself of the dirt covering him and began to lick. { Wait a minute. I'm a cat. An alley cat. ... ???????? What am I doing?! I need to wake up! } But he couldn't wake up because he wasn't dreaming, as he soon figured out. { I am not asleep! How can this be?! }
Then the memory's from the day before came back, and he remembered drinking that small green veil. { Arghhhhh! What am I going to do! Oh what am I going to DO??!!! } He began caterwauling to the sky, to the ground, to the small, striving to survive- plants, even to the pigeons. But there was nothing he - or any of them - could do.
Then, an idea occurred to him!
{ Maybe if I travel back to that silly Chinese man's store, he'll change me back! }
With this grand thought in mind, he set out. Luckily for him it was not far away. But when he arrived, the shop was no longer there, and was as vacant as it was before.
The sad cat thought back to his life before hand, and decided he had learned a valuable lesson:
Don't drink small green vials!
