00:00I want to tell you about something that haunted me forever, a story of guilt, madness, and a black
00:06cat. If you think you're brave enough, listen carefully. The Happy Beginning
00:12I used to be a kind man. I loved my family, my home, and especially my pets. I had birds,
00:22dogs, and all sorts of animals, but my favorite was a black cat named Pluto. Pluto was clever
00:29and gentle. He would follow me everywhere, sit by my side, and I loved him like a friend.
00:36Everyone who saw him said he had almost human intelligence. Life was peaceful. I never thought
00:44anything terrible could happen until I started drinking. The Change
00:50At first, it was just a little wine or spirits at night, but soon drinking became a habit,
00:58and it changed me completely. I became short-tempered and cruel. I yelled, I fought,
01:05and worst of all, I started hurting the people and animals I once loved. One night, in a blind rage,
01:13I grabbed Pluto and cut out one of his eyes. I thought I could control my anger, but I couldn't.
01:20I had unleashed something dark inside me. After that, I avoided the cat at first, but every time I
01:28saw him, I hated myself and him. Eventually, in another fit of madness, I hung him from a tree
01:36and killed him. I can't even describe the feeling. Horror, guilt, and anger all mixed together.
01:44The Fire
01:46After Pluto was gone, life got stranger. One night, our house caught fire. Flames consumed
01:55everything I owned. I barely escaped with my life. I couldn't help thinking it was punishment,
02:02that Pluto's spirit had come back for revenge. I moved to a new house, thinking the past was behind
02:09me. But some things can't be escaped. The second cat. A few weeks later, I saw a black cat near my
02:19new home. At first, I thought it was just a stray, but it followed me home, and I noticed something
02:25terrifying. It looked almost exactly like Pluto. Same black fur, same eyes. The only difference was a
02:35white patch on its chest. I named it It, because I couldn't even bear to speak its name. At first,
02:44I tried to ignore it. I even petted it sometimes. But slowly, the cat began to haunt me. Every time I
02:52saw that white patch, I remembered what I had done. My anger came back, stronger than ever. I hated the cat,
03:01but I also feared it. I couldn't sleep at night, because it seemed to watch me, almost as if it
03:08knew my darkest secrets. Madness takes over. One night, in a blind rage, I tried to kill the cat
03:17with an axe. My wife stopped me. She begged me, screamed at me, pleaded with me. But I was beyond
03:25reason. In that moment, my anger exploded, and I killed her instead. I didn't know what to do.
03:33Panic took over. I hid her body in the wall of our house, bricking it up, as if I could bury my guilt
03:40forever. I thought I had escaped, but I was wrong. The cat's revenge. Days later, the police came to
03:50investigate. I stayed calm, acting normal, smiling even. I thought they would never find her. But
03:59then, the black cat appeared. It had somehow survived, and it was sitting right on the wall
04:05above her hiding place. As if sensing something, it started screaming. I laughed nervously, thinking it
04:13was just luck. But the police were curious. They tapped the wall, and then the bricks fell. There
04:22she was, my wife, dead, hidden forever, but revealed by the cat. At last, moral. The cat had been my doom
04:34all along. My guilt, my anger, my cruelty. They all came back to punish me. I realized too late that you
04:43can't escape the consequences of your actions. Some say the cat was evil. Others say it was just
04:51justice in fur. But I know the truth. It was a warning. Madness, cruelty, and guilt will always find you
05:01in the end.
