As she mills about the streets,

Millicent the cat watches lives unfold.

Joy fills a boy’s face as he receives a note from a girl.

A girl wilts at the sight of a boy talking with another girl.

She watches as lives are created,

a girl begins her journey into the world of a writer,

and destroyed,

a boy commits suicide because of the pains of life.

She knows everyone in town,

from the librarian,

Miss Moon,

to the smallest child,

little Bradsher Miller.

She knows everything that’s happened here.

And she knows who needs her most.

See, Millicent wanders the streets for one reason

and one reason alone.

To help the poor souls who seem to have twisted themselves up in an attempt to cure.

She witnesses the ups and downs of their life firsthand,

and finds a way to fix them.

Thats her job. 

Millicent the cat,

person fixer.
