Pshhh another boring day, huh. The teachers words droned on in the background as World_hunger's pencil sketched out the most perfect catboy ever seen. Every day was like this since the school found out she was working at Walmart and got her fired. Now she was having to make all her money from under-the-table catboy mayo sales in the school toilets. It just wasn't the same.
As she added her finishing touches to the cayboy's tail she glanced outside. Another blue day. When will it end. This stupid heat is killing everyone here, even the furries have stopped wearing their suits.
"World_hunger, are you paying attention!" The teacher's shrill voice shot throughout the classroom. But World_hunger didn't flinch. She had just seen something. Her gaze fixed outside she slowly rose to her feet.
"World_hunger, what do you think you're doing? If you don't find this class interesting enough that you have to stare out the window, then please leave my classroom!"
But the teacher's words didn't reach World_hunger's ears. There was something much more important happening right now. Bringing her mind back into the present she started thinking up a plan of action. Grabbing her bag she dashed out of the classroom.
"No, wait, you're not actually meant to leave..." The teacher's words followed her out of the classroom, as the other kids started muttering among themselves.
World_hunger pulled out her flip phone, dialing the only person she cared about.
"Yeah, it's me. This might be the last you hear from me, but it's ok. Just look after the catboys for me if I don't make it. Yeah, I know I said they'd gone but I was wrong. They're back... The golf ball clouds are back"
---------
The scorching sun beat down on World_hunger's back as she stood fixed in position on the school roof. She used to like clouds, as they offered her some shelter from the relentless sun. But not anymore.
She gripped her golf club tighter as she squinted in the direction of the incoming white object. About 2 more minutes before they arrive she estimated. It will be ok. She'd done this before. And this time she doesn't have anyone to protect. It will all be ok.
The pounding in her ears steadily grew louder. Sweat dripped from her hands. Shallow breaths. They were close now. 30 seconds. Raising the golf club in preparation for the first swing she stared dead ahead, not letting the fear take a hold. 10 seconds.
"BRING IT ON YOU MOTHER FUCKERS!!!"
BANG! World_hunger swung her club as the first golf ball cloud flew towards her. It bounced off to the side but the impact had loosened her grip on the golf club. There was no time to brace for the second one.
It smashed into her golf club, sending it flying out of her hands. Lunging after it the golf ball cloud rebounded and smashed in her back, knocking her to the ground. The rough ground scraped her palms but this was no time to care about pain. Crawling desperately towards the gold club she grabbed a hold and swung wildly in the direction of the attacking golf ball cloud. She managed to knock it away but by this time the first golf ball cloud had made its recovery.
Jumping to her feet she once again got into her fighting stance. Taking a deep breath she closed her eyes and remembered her training. Picturing the golf balls in space she swung the golf club around herself in a 360, batting away both the golf ball clouds. A perfect hit. This was it, she was going to win. They were both badly beaten now and out of rhythm with each other. Grinning she planted her feet in a defensive stance and turned towards the golf ball cloud that was zooming towards her.
Come here you little shit. I'll send you back to hell. She raised her arms high, swung with all her might and-
THWACK! World_hunger's chin hit the ground. Hard. She could taste blood. A third golf ball cloud, huh. How had she not considered that possibility. Spluttering she tried to regain her footing, but the injured golf ball cloud smashed into the side of her head. Ahh, this is not the place to pass out. Using both feet she kicked at the incoming golf ball cloud. In a bang it disappeared. Finally. But taking them out with her feet was going to have its price.
Clambering onto her knees she noticed the first golf ball cloud making another advance. Without breaking eye contact with the third golf ball cloud she swung her arm out side ways and smashed the injured golf ball cloud into oblivion. Her golf club clattered to the ground, no longer of any use. This was not good. She had no back up golf club on her as she was at school.
The final golf ball cloud started making its final attack. It shot towards her as she ducked out the way, sliding along the roof. Her legs burned like fire; there was no way she was going to be able to run inside in this situation.
But it was ok. Everything was ok. She was already in position.
All she could she was a white smudge coming towards her. She took a deep breath and outstretched her arms. It hit her chest with a great force, but this time she grabbed on tight. Just as she had thought, the force was enough to push her over the edge.
Falling fast, she shifted her weight to make the cloud land on the ground before her. It's not like it could break her fall, it was a cloud after all. But if she was going to hell she could at least bring the golf ball clouds with her. Closing her eyes she breathed a final goodbye.
-----
Everyone had seen it. World_hunger taking a dive off the school roof. Rumors were circling around the school. Even after she had returned to school with a broken arm she refused to speak about it.
But this should be the end now. No more clouds that look like golf balls.
At least she hoped.
