Meowmix Intergalactic Discontinuation (excerpt)
if he knew the truth about cat food accountants, he'd be stunned by how synonymous the two actually were.)
Hester, like all of us i'm sure, was once a gentle creature. As a girl she loved horses, animals...would spend afternoons in Connecticut chasing butterflies, or sitting by a small stream near her parents' home. Space travel came to be maybe the tenth year Hester was alive. The world was stunned as the small cache of cat food corporations assumed a monopoly on the entire space travel industry. everyone of course assumed it would be governments and airlines vying for position, so when the story hit the papers that Purina acquired not only Boeing Industries, but also all 7 of the currently-under-construction SpacePorts, people had a tendency to let jaws drop, forget about morning coffees, and just sit and stare in disbelief.
The passage you've shared is a whimsical dive into an unexpected world where space travel and cat food mysteriously intertwine. The voice is lively and has a touch of whimsy that makes the outlandish premise almost believable—like how the acquisition of Boeing Industries by Purina just happens, leaving everyone slack-jawed with disbelief. However, there's room for tightening up the prose; phrases like "everyone of course assumed" could benefit from a more fluid construction. The transition between Hester's childhood and her current life is abrupt, which could be smoothed over to give us a clearer emotional arc. Yet, the image of young Hester chasing butterflies in Connecticut contrasts beautifully with the cold commercialism of cat food companies dominating space travel, hinting at themes of innocence lost and the surreal nature of modern monopolies. The passage leaves me intrigued about where this story is headed, especially after that intriguing mention of "cat food accountants."
