My Father’s Secret
by JE Lillie
My father looked like any other man. He acted big like any other man. Drank beer, smoked and cussed like any other man.
He often said, “The day’ll come Buddy when you have to stand on your own. I won’t be around to save you.”
The invasion came. They called themselves them the Purrex. Humanoid cats.
They found my father. Sawed him in half with some laser sword. That was when he transformed into his true form, his bird form.
The stress of it all brought my own wings out. They carried me to the mountains. Now Purrex are hunting me!
Okay a little weird this week. Maybe I have been watching too much ScyFy.


I will be keeping a close eye on my cat tonight…especially if he is yielding a laser sword! nice job!
That is always the wisest course of action. Cats can be tricky.
Weird indeed. But thanks for the warning about the Purrex – they sound bad.
They are! They are!
Interesting take.
Thanks!
The woman next door to me has been invaded by the Purrex. Good one!
Yes there are Purrex plants in every city in the world. It is part of their advance plan.
Purr-fect little story. 🙂
That’s a trick question. There’s no such thing as ‘Too Much ScyFy! 😆
I suppose it depends who you talk to. I can never get enough but I try not to noise that abroad. 🙂
Yes, a strange one indeed, Joseph.
And is ScyFy American for SciFi?
ScyFy is actually a channel on the tube over here like BBC in your country. They show only Sci-Fi television. It’s a geeks dream (speaking from personal experience) 🙂
Yikes!!
Fun story!
Thanks Patricia.
Ha! Ha! Nice one, picture purr-fect.
Why thank you!
Sometimes a dip in the weird pool is just what we need to escape from the drone of real life. Thanks Joe. 😉
So true!
