The Adventure of Jack and Callie

One day not too long ago, coming in from the dark woods was a feline. His name was Jackson. He preferred Jack, though.
Well, Jack was quite a hungry cat. When he happens to get this hungry he can be a voracious creature. He had come out of the woods with his head down. He was disappointed because he couldn’t seem to catch any food. He tried and tried to find himself some grub, but he just couldn’t find anything. He was just on the verge of giving up.
He headed home, empty handed. He needed a little food so it would be able to alleviate his hunger just long enough so that he could keep going. He thought to himself “Maybe I just need to go some place much bigger and better.” Just about that time he heard something behind him as he turned his head back he was stunned. Nothing. He kept on walking, trying to figure out where or what he could do to find something to eat and suddenly heard the same noise again! He was surprised and called out “Is anyone there?” No one answered. By this time, Jack the Cat was extremely suspicious of their being someone or another animal following him.
He just kept on his way, and if he didn’t hear the exact same noise for the third time! This time Jack was very angry and decided to turn around and wait to see what it was that was following him. Well, he waited and again, nothing. He wondered if he was just going crazy. The he finally spoke. “To whoever may be following me, please show yourself.” He waited some more but still, nothing. He turned around and walked a few steps, confused, as to what could be following him. Then about that time a medium-sized dog sprinted in front of Jack the Cat. Jack was mortified. He asked “Were you following me?!” The dog replied, “Yes, you must be Jackson.” “Jack”, he corrected. “How did you know my name?” The dog answered “I had seen you in the woods, hunting for some food. I also seen that you didn’t get anything either.” Jack shook his head and responded “No, I haven’t eaten in days and I’m very hungry.” The dog answered “I’m so sorry to hear that. I may be of help, if you’re interested in some.” Jack’s eyes gleamed with happiness. He asked “You’re willing to help me?” The dog just chuckled a little and answered “Yes of course.”
Jack was overcome with joy. He then asked “How are you going to be of help?” The dog replied, “I know of a place, but it’s far away. They have very good hunting grounds though.” “I’m a very skillful hunter as well and can help you out.” Jack asked “Do you have a name?” The dog replied, “What a very silly question. “Yes of course I have a name.” “My name is Callie.” Jack answered “Nice to meet you Callie.” Callie replied “Nice to meet you also, ‘Jack’”
Jack then asked Callie “When can we go to this hunting ground or whatever you call it?” “I’m starving” Callie replied “Ahh, I see”, looking at him. She then added, “We will leave very soon; it will take us a while to get there though.” Then she left in a flash, without warning at all. Jack the Cat really thought he was going crazy.
Then a few minutes later, Callie returned with a map. Jack was thinking to himself “Why did she need a map for if she’s been there before?” Callie asked Jack “Are you all set and ready to go to this far away ‘voyage’?” Jack answered without thinking or much thought “Yes, let’s go!” So, off they went on a far away quest to search for food.
It took around three and a half hours to arrive. Callie and Jack were extremely hungry and irritable by now. Jack then called out “What kind of food do they have on these grounds?” Callie explained after a moment of collecting her thoughts, “Just about everything you could think of.” “From snakes, fish, and rats.” Jack answered “That sounds great! Let’s go!”
They were on their way hunting on these grounds. Familiar to Callie but a stranger to Jack. Callie went through and showed Jack where all the good spots were to hunt. Then they had decided to split up for a while to see what they could find.
When Jack was finally alone he scurried quickly along the grounds because he had only about an hour to see what all he could find. He was extremely hungry, and it wasn’t long until dusk. He was trying not to lose track of time and he was trying to recall where Callie told him to meet her at. At the giant Oak tree where they first came to the grounds.
After about an hour, Jack had hunted three rats and two snakes. He ate two of the rats due to hunger. Callie was very successful as well. They had kept hunting until night had come and became very tired. They took a nap and decided it was best to head back home. Jack was very happy with everything he caught, and thought his meal was very tasty.
Once they arrived back to more familiar territory, Jack was almost relieved. For he had been longing to be home, but he was suited with the trip and thought it was well worth it and because it was needed. Jack was also very delighted to have met Callie. To him, she was his hero. He would have starved without her helping and taking him to much better hunting grounds. He couldn’t stop thinking her for all of her help.

Sometimes I just want to die
That's not a lie
But when I realize how bad it is to think that I take it back
I've been through some rough shit
I'd rather not think of it
Patience is not my thing
Its the only thing thats keeping me from being sane
I just want to love and be happy
But because I don't have anyone to love I feel crappy
I try to not let it get me down and out
But when I do I just pout
I want someone to want me for me
But the outside matters more to them and thats all they wanna see
