Saving the Hidden Cat

“Everyone thought the building was empty. Everyone… except me.

Inside, the smoke was thick. The heat was unbearable. Then I heard it. A small sound.

Scared. Hiding in the dark. I found a cat, frozen in fear, trapped where no

one would look. I picked it up, and in that moment, nothing else mattered. Not the fire.

Not the danger. We ran. And when we made it outside, it looked at me

like I was its whole world. Some lives are small. But they matter… just as much.”
