Sunday Fic Meme: "Raining Kittens"

Each Sunday, post six sentences from a writing project -- published, submitted, in progress, for your cat -- whatever. (Ganked from DW)

Below is an excerpt from "Raining Kittens," a Torn World story that I'm currently drafting. It will eventually be submitted for canon board approval.

Something soft and warm landed on Rai's shoulder, startling him. Sharp points pricked through his clothes. "Mreew," the something protested as Rai carefully detached it from the nubbled silk of his vest. More small blurs drifted past Rai's hazy field of view.

"Eeee! It's raining kittens!" Alikara exclaimed.

"Skykittens," said Threlin, finishing his warning rather too late.

I figure they're like flying squirrels -- adapted for impact.

Gliding cats! They put all four paws out and have membranes between their front and hind paws on each side! *nods wisely*

Yep! It takes a while for them to learn how to glide. There is a story and picture about skycats here:

Skycat is a trickster figure in Southern lore. There are some other stories too, if I remember right.
