As soon as I got to the other side of the gates, I froze… Looking to my right and my left, I scanned the area. Not a single zombie was in sight.
Scrunching my nose, I took Hades out of my space. "It's not like I am trying to treat you like the canary in the mine, but a little help here please?" I asked as I put him in his customary spot on my shoulder. He glared at me and walked around, digging his claws into me as he made himself comfortable and laid down.
The anime that I used to watch, and even the books I read where the female lead had a cat that hung out on her shoulder never mentioned exactly how painful it was to actually do it. I was developing new scars there whenever Hades slipped and dug his claws into me. 0/10 would not recommend it unless in the middle of a zombie apocalypse… even then… get a dog and put it on a leash.
Soo... I may or may not be on a caffeine high myself... lol... but I am trying to get more chapters done to be able to give you more!
Now, a few explanations:
the saying canary in a mine refers to miners that used to bring canaries down with them in cages. If the bird died, they knew that the mine was filled with poisonous gases and they needed to leave before they died too.
Heebie-jeebies... is my all time favourite word that essentially means to give you the creeps or a bad feeling. But let's face it... saying Heebie-jeebies is just plain fun!
Love you lots!
