Episode 7
Well, of course we sang an amazing version, a duet of Take Me to the River in their style, happily someone recorded it. The live version went to number one on all available channels in that sector, but Wikipedia had it listed as one of the most downloaded songs of the century in that quadrant of this solar system. After the show we went backstage and got chilled with the members of the band.
This band was stacked with musicianship. All the best players from every corner of the galaxy. With all that bio-physiological enhancing, the guitar player could shred faster than Steve Vai or Yngwie Malmsteen, playing new scales in the recently expanded key frequencies of H, I, J, K, L, M, and N. Opening up powerful geometric possibilities for trans dimensional travel. Curiously, they didn’t have a name. In their time they only went by the individual players in the band, not named as a unit. But as you probably guessed, I came up with a name for them, that they adopted later in the story. After the after party Otis invited us back to his place…we accepted his invitation as if he were family.
When we awoke the next morning, it was decided that we should head out on an adventure which led to many adventures.
Cats are a curious species. Grumpy, seductive, adventurous, aloof, independent, throw in a dash of 13-year-old boy humor (Earth, USA, circa 1977-mind melted from Mad magazine) and you’ve got Otis the Space Cat. Cats have 9 lives and space cats notoriously have 11. This is the story of how he used them up.
