Jellicle Ball: Calling the Names of Honorees
[A small brown tabby with large yellow eyes shivers from the northern
chill as she gazes over Lake Michigan from the edge of the Navy Pier and pulls her cloak, fastened with a pin in the image of a beige cat with wings, a little tighter. She watches the water, remembering the faces of friends who have gone on ahead: a tabby and white lady who called this city home, a redheaded girl nicknamed "Miss Nosey", a cream with orange gentleman who was the calm center of his home, a tortie lady who was the gentle nurse for the Community, a black and white boy who was a joyful dancer...a dozen more longtime friends, tortie, tabby, red, a rainbow of colors. With a deep sigh, she turns, enters the Crystal Gardens, and climbs to the podium just as the sun sets on the horizon and the full Jellicle moon begins to rise.] Greetings, mine frends, an welcom to Chicago an da tenft annyual Jellicle Ball.
