The Two Talking Cats.

Once, there lived two talking cats.  

They were called Bonnie and Heart. They were best friends and always helped each other. A lot of people said: "they purr the secrets of the universe! " And maybe it was. But no one knew what they were talking about among themselves, except for them. These cats were homeless and just roamed the streets of their hometown. Passers-by always tried to help them in any way they could.  

One very ordinary day, the cats disappeared. The first to notice this was the owner of the butcher's shop, where they were constantly. They were not seen all day, and they clearly didn't intend to come. All the inhabitants of the area knew them, and not only the seller was surprised at the loss. Everyone was worried about the cats.  

But they found a new journey for themselves. A new occupation in this boring world... A small hole, like a portal, has opened in a narrow back alley. The cats were wondering what it was. Heart found it first. When Bonnie realized that she had not seen her friend for a long time, she followed the trail.  

And she came to this hole. And she was not afraid. She knew what to do now. She knew what Heart had done. All she had to do was follow. And she followed.  

However, after jumping down the hole, Bonnie found herself no longer herself. A slight fear ran through her mind and then disappeared. She's not afraid of death. She's not afraid to die. But she's not her. She's just a white outline in the vast, endless black space. Space, which screamed to her: "search! " And she started looking.  

Bonnie kept making her way through infinity. It was like it was all a dream. A dream that never ends... But she saw the light. Distant, but so dear and desired... And she went into the light. Light was salvation.  

And she made her way to the light. It was like a huge white dome, where there is the whole world in a reduced form. And grass. Heart was sitting on the grass. And Heart was waiting. And just stepping onto the dome, Bonnie found her form. But she didn't become herself... It wasn't her.  

— Heart! What are you doing here? — Bonnie immediately asked.  

— I'm... Just waiting, — Heart replied calmly.  

And she was calm. And she looked somewhere... Somewhere into the distance, into the unknown.  

— How long are you here?  

— All the time I was gone. I learned a lot...  

— For example?  

— This place is called Reskl. Infinity that gives meaning to the meaningless.  

— Do we not matter? Why are we here?  

— But this is just a myth. No one can gain value just by being here. Reskl takes over the mind. And doesn't let go anymore.  

— Heart, then we need to get out of here as soon as possible!  

— No. It's already late. You're late.  

— I don't understand. Weren't you trying to get out? Are you just waiting for me?  

— Maybe I tried. I don't remember. Apparently it didn't work out.  

— No more talking! We are leaving!  

— But look. This... This is how people reacted to our loss, — and Heart pointed somewhere. There was a small version of the city, their hometown. People who had extra time went out and looked for cats. They were really worried, — Why don't they find us themselves?  

— You are crazy! — and Bonnie grabs Heart's hand and leads her away.  

They returned to infinity. But there is no way out.  

— We have no more choice. The hole cannot be found. We'd better get back in a Gap before it's too late.  

And only after saying nothing, they returned back to the Gap. And they waited. Long, long wait.  

And then they saw a man. They didn't know who it was, but they were glad to see him. He was tied with a rope, ready to pick up the cats and leave here.  

The man picked up the cats and left Reskl. He was pulled out by people outside, who remained to insure. Everyone was happy to see talkative cats again. They were the soul of the city.  

But Bonnie still wondered: what is Reskl? Why did it appear? The laws of physics don't work there. Nothing works there... And it was frightening.  

Days, weeks, months passed. The cats have grown. They have lost their meaning. People no longer admired them. They didn't have any topics to talk about.  

Only Heart tried to restore her charm. Bonnie didn't want to do anything about it. The heart was working, trying to attract attention. But nothing worked.  

One day, she got tired of everything. She just hissed at Bonnie and ran away. Bonnie couldn't keep up with her, but she already knew where she was going.  

Both cats are missing again. But people didn't care anymore. No one was looking for them and no one was worried. Everyone didn't care. The cats might not come back if that's the case.  

Heart escaped to Reskl. That hole remained in place, even if it was closed with anything. Bonnie followed her. And they again came to that gap in which they found themselves last time.  

They spent quite a lot of time there. And then... Then they noticed a silhouette. A curly-haired woman, it seems... And it really was a curly-haired woman. In a robe, a sweater, and a skirt... She silently approached Bonnie and Heart, examining them. And finally she spoke:  

— Hello little kittens. Why are you here alone?  

Heart and Bonnie looked at each other. Many times people tried to talk to them without getting an answer...  

— Bonnie, does she think she'll understand us?  

— I already understand. Nice to meet. My name is Chao. I am the Supreme that created all known universes. I know everything.  

— Why did you come here?  

— You found Reskl. Out-universe that captures the mind. And you must be released.  

A bright flash blinded the cats.  

They slowly opened their eyes. And only at that moment they realized where they were... In the sky. Soar on their own wings. Approaching space.  

— Well, Heart... I think this is the end.  

— I think the same.  

The cats silently smiled and hugged each other tightly.  

Their bodies were molecularly dispersed throughout the universe. Their souls are now free.  

They are now just a memory. And souls... Will get into new bodies.  

—THE END.
