Hi! I’m sorry it took this long to write this. I have a lot planned for the future. Enjoy!

I. WHAT DOES LIMBO MEAN?

The cats were in a state of limbo. But what did limbo mean? Limbo meant that they were in a state where everything is out of place and weird. Where your dreams control the world in a way that is disturbing and horror. The scary part is getting out of limbo: you will one day wake up from your sleep, but time plays around and you could of lived millions of lives in limbo. When you eventually wake up, you will probably suicide because it was too much to live that many lives and you do not wish to live another or risk to sleep and return to limbo again.

II. OUTSIDE LIMBO

The following events are happening in the real world while Oat is dreaming his limbo world…

A girl is crying and looking under every bench. She ends up to even put cat food on the ground trying to get her cat to come. The cat was missing for a few hours now…

AI

Sadly, only stray cats came. Oat was nowhere to be seen!

AI

Orange stray cats started eating the cat food. That cat was all I had… If she does not come back soon, I will be sad my whole life…The girl was even starting to consider suicide…

Back to Oat…

III. DE-ORBIT BURN

Oreo started getting impacient. They were stranded in LEO for a while. That was when he saw the portal…

AI

The portal was spinning around its inside. It was colourful and big.It was a little scary to just see something that should not be possible. The crew was bored of staying in orbit and it was normal to want to get out. The portal got them to the weirdest place ever: a huge cat food bowl.

AI

The bowl of cat food was filling up to the brim with wet cat food tasting like a chicken; the smell was a weird combination. You could think that it was gross or you could think that it was good… The threat was yet to come. However, the cats could now enjoy more of a lunch then they ever got before. McCat and Oat went to eat dry food, but Oreo and Milo preferred to eat wet cat food. They were not thinking of it yet, but a big bowl of cat food meant a big cat.

Oreo was taking a nap after eating half of his bodyweight in cat food when he got waken up by a paw. When he opened his eyes, he got scared. It was a cat, but not part of the crew. She had a steampunk look…

AI

Oreo tried to escape, but Toby stopped him. He explained that they gathered the other cats and this strange looking cat was going to lead them out of there. The cat may betray us… However, they did not have another option. Then they heard a loud meow. It was over. A huge cat was heading to the bowl. The bowl was owned by the cat!

AI

That was when Steamunk-cat pulled out a huge crayon. She proceeds to draw a door and the door just turns into an actual door. The cat opens it like it was something casual. She suggests the other cats to jump in and they do so.

IV. SUICIDE

This chapter happens in the real world…

A woman in her mid 50’s climbs up a ladder to a platform and yells to a girl standing there: Elisa, I made some missing-cat posters! Elisa seems to just stay there waiting. Suddenly, she jumps off the platform. There was a 8 meter gap between the platform and the ground…

V. PLOT TWIST

Oat woke up on a bed next to an iPad…

It was only a few seconds until he got teleported back with the other cats. That is when OroCat explained what was happening:

I see you already know you are in limbo. This is the limbo of Oat created because of a story. Oat got trapped in this limbo because someone started writing a story about him on an iPad and the magic of the iPad got him here. I hope his owners don’t miss him… We need to escape now! The limbo is getting unstable because the author is writing less. We have less time to think!

AI

I know it took long to get this ready, but I think it will be worth it. The next part will be here in a week! Thank you for reading!
