BLACK CAT ON THE ROAD

I have seen a black cat on the road.

I was driving along when out of nowhere a Black Cat ran across the street in front of my vehicle. Of course this sent a shock wave through my body like someone dumped a massive tub of ice cold water on my hot head.

I did not kill the cat, I did not go off the road. But my face went from just being me to that of someone just jumping off a nail yelling no OUCH! But whispering, “awe a black cat.”

Then my mind spewed out superstitious quotes, “if a black cat walks in front of you, something bad will happen. If you walk under a ladder someone will get hurt. If you say Bloody-Mary three times in the mirror-she will get you and kill your friends.”

Then Still driving and thinking about that cat, my head followed this house at the end of the road. Well I could not help but to say, “That’s a stupid place to put a house. Anybody can drive off the road right into the living room or what ever it is.”

Then I thought a bit about the cat and thought, As if. No such thing. I continued onward to the store.

In the store I got what I needed paid, got back in my car and headed home.

Is it the end? NO On my way home lots of red lights and trucks and a police car or two? Were all outside that stupid home at the end of the street.

Did I do that? Was It The Superstitious thinking? Or was it that Black Cat on the road?

So am I superstitious? Na I walk under ladders SOMETIMES lol and the roads were icy that night, It was winter.

Oh yes, drop a fork a woman will visit, drop a knife a man will visit.

There is another saying but I can only remember the ending about kissing a fool. They are all old wives tales anyway or coincidences.
