The Coolest Cat in the Cosmos

Four figures awoke on a beach.

On one side lay the spiral arms of the galaxy, hovering mightily in outer space. On the other side of the beach, a pinkish ocean stretched off into into an enormous dark tunnel. A distant pulse thudded dully out there, somewhere beyond the ocean's horizon.

A little white duck named David brushed the sand from his spectacles and placed them upon his beak. The two others came into focus: a walrus named Grouch and a ferret named Toby. “Excuse me?” he asked, “Does either of you know where we are?”

“We’re in a dream!” bellowed a voice from behind them, and the Dreamer, in his tattered red shirt, jogged up from behind, fresh from a dip in the soupy sea.

"How do you know it's a dream?" asked David.

"Because the light never changes," said the Dreamer. "We're perpetually bathed in twilight."

"How long have you been here?" asked Groucho.

"It's hard to tell," said the Dreamer. Time doesn't seem to exist in the normal way around here. No matter how long you've been here, it seems like you could've been here only a minute, or you could have been here forever. It's both a single moment and an eternity. Least, seems that way to me."

“I don’t think we’re in the normal world,” said David.

“Wherever we are,” said Toby, “let’s get out. I was on my way to the mademoiselle chambers. My sweet Cherie awaits.”

“I, too,” said Groucho, “would like to get back home, to the Antarctica I know and love, where the penguins march and the seals swim beneath crystal sheets.”
