An embarrassing incident

She was sitting at the table eating (again) and I was looking into the dark garden when all of a sudden I spotted an intruder. A strange black cat was looking back at me. I don't know what came over me but suddenly I went into stealth mode and started to creep towards the door.

She must have looked up because I could sense her excitement. Oooh Marley, I have never seen you stalk before, she said and got up to see who was out there.

As she came closer, she said You silly animal. That is your reflection, Marley.

She opened the door and I dashed out to see off the enemy. There was no-one there. I pretended I just needed a breath of fresh air and sat there, all casual. It was freezing out there, but I pretended to be enjoying it.

I think I had just showed myself up.
