CatsCast 29: Firecoats Irreparable Witch
<header> <div class="postmeta"> <p>Author: Aaron Canton Narrator: Eric Valdes Host: Tarver Nova<br /> <br /> Firecoat's Irreparable Witch</p> <p>by Aaron Canton</p> </div> </header> <div class="entry_content" itemprop="description"> <p>There had been a time when the world had reshaped itself at Firecoat's command. A snap of his paw was all it had taken to drive a horde of mice out of their hidden warrens and send them scurrying away, a flick of his tail had forced potion ingredients to drop from their shelves into the hands of the magician who needed them, and even the tiniest twitch of his thinnest whisker had flipped the pages of grimoires until they opened to exactly the right spot. But now, when Firecoat slipped into the worn study and then hopped onto the little wooden table where his witch was scratching out a new spell on some parchment, nothing happened. Not even the woman at the table reacted to his presence.</p> </div> <p>Visit us at: https://escapeartists.net/catscast/ Released under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives International 4.0 license.</p>

CatsCast 28: The Cemetery Cat
<p>Laura Pearlman (Host), Matt Dovey (Back cover art), Dave Robison (Audio production)</p> <p><strong><span class= "role_label">Author</span></strong> : Jennifer Lee Rossman <strong><span class= "role_label">Narrator</span></strong> : Diane Severson <strong><span class= "role_label">Host</span></strong> : Laura Pearlman <strong><span class="role_label">Audio Producer</span></strong> : Dave Robison</p> <p>This story originally appeared in From a Cat's View: An Anthology of Stories Told by Cats</p> <p>The Cemetery Cat<br /> by Jennifer Lee Rossman</p> <p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Night crept into the cemetery earlier than in the rest of town, and dawn came later than usual.</p> <p>Perhaps the mountains to either side snatched up the sun in late afternoon and held it ransom until long after breakfast. Or maybe Nature, lover of all things atmospheric, decided a glorified skeleton farm was too unsettling a place on which to bestow so many hours of daylight. Gothic iron fences and chipped granite angels looked best in twilight, after all, especially when the fog blew in from the river to wind around the gravestones like tulle.</p> <p>Whatever the reason, geology or spookiness, cemetery nights were longer, and people avoided cemeteries at night. As if ghosts and ghoulies only worked the late shift, and the daylight would protect them from invisible echoes of the past and the dark things that hovered at the corners of their eyes.</p> <p>Nonsense. It was the same superstitious thinking that made otherwise rational people toss spilt salt over their shoulder and say their prayers at night. But if they believed the nonsense protected them—and kept them from admitting they were nothing but helpless specks of carbon and water floating in an infinite void of evil that wanted to steal their souls and wear their faces like Halloween masks—so what? If a little nonsense keeps society from falling apart, more power to them.</p> <p>But cats know better.</p> <p>Visit us at: https://escapeartists.net/catscast/ Released under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives International 4.0 license.</p>
