Amber: The Crazy Beauty

I sat in Matilda's office and tried not to cough through the cigarette smoke. My boss's office was disgusting. Old magazines everywhere, soaked in cat pee. Cigarette butts stuffed into every corner she could find. And so many cats. They were everywhere. I sat on the edge of the stained chair in front of her desk before I reached to pick up a white one. It kept twirling its tail around my ankle and purring at me. I set the cat on my lap and pet it as Matilda lit up another cigarette with the one she had just finished.
