Cats don't have 9 lives. The phrase is a metaphor for their many secret identities. Cats in disguise are hard to spot, but the next time you’re talking to a charismatic stranger, try turning on a faucet and asking if they want drinkies. The twitch of longing will give them away.

I bite down. His flesh yields, but something is wrong. My fangs hit titanium.
I pull back and look at him in disgust. He shrugs as if to say, ‘What did you expect.’ I flee.
That’s the fifth one this week. Sometimes I think humans built these things just to mess with the undead.
“Six years ago, I built a time machine, but the transfer killed every test animal.
I’ve been sending robot probes instead. They explore, record things, then return. But only up to a point. If I send them past a certain date, they never come back.”
“When’s the date?”
“It’s today.”
“Who’s your favorite superhero?”
“Mom Hulk.”
“The Hulk has a mom?”
“Everyone has a mom, Jeffrey.”
“So what are her powers? Does she also get really strong when she’s angry?”
“Mom Hulk doesn’t get angry. She just gets very, very disappointed.”
Everything has a number one fan: Every story, character, song, poem, painting, dish, design, outfit, building, flower, and interesting pebble. It might not be your favorite thing, but it commands more of you than it does anyone else. The world is tied together with those strings.
All the dragons at Dragon Beach
Want a bod that is out of reach.
Though they’re powerful and wise
They fret about their tummy size.
They work out and pull no punches;
Spend the winter doing crunches.
Until they each remember that
Haters burn easier than fat.

“I can’t imagine loving anyone more,” she murmurs, lying beside him.
Then she thinks of all the people she loves exactly as much, just in different ways: favorite friends, relatives, passersby. Anyone could be at the top of her list, if the list’s criteria were specific enough.
"Turning down work doesn't make sense, not in this economy. But guarding a tomb doesn't feel right. There's something unsavory about the notion that a dead man needs protection. Who are you protecting him from? Or maybe it's the other way around. Oh, that would be so much worse."
It was said if you pulled the sword from the stone, you’d become the monarch of this land.
But the stone had other things embedded in it as well, unfamiliar objects that thrummed with secret power. It would be so easy to pull one of those instead and make the land something new.
Scientists discover a geologic instability will crack Earth in half in 2146, killing all life.
No one alive now will see it, but as time passes, having children becomes ethically fraught. How close can you come to the expiration date?
Who gets left to watch the lights go out?
