Zheng Tan woke up to the disturbance of an intense turbulence, trampling, and cries of cats.
The effects of the drug had not completely worn off. When Zheng Tan opened his eyes he was still in a state of trance, not knowing where he was.
Beneath him was not the soft couch at the Jiaos', instead he was surrounded by unfamiliar smells, panic and anxiety drifting in the air. Sounds of scolding mingled with cat cries caused a stir that made Zheng Tan's head ache.
Bang!
Cages and cages full of cats were placed on the shelves.
Zheng Tan was tread on by other cats in the same cage a few times.
This time he was really awake.
He opened his eyes and looked around. This was a small room filled with the odor of urine and blood. Zheng Tan could see some steel cages and some makeshift bamboo and wooden cages on the shelf opposite him.
Zheng Tan moved his ears and was able to hear the dogs bark from next door. The dogs were barking louder than the cats.
