Your Cup of Tea

I have resolved, more or less, to write something every day. Most of these somethings are coming in at a page or less and aren't particularly good, but I've been posting them anyway hoping for critiques. Anyway, this story draws token inspiration from Belle & Sebastian and Sage Francis, two artists who couldn't be more different but both have songs about tea.

The Cat Came Back

I got the song stuck in my head earlier today, and I always found the song mildly disturbing anyway,so basically that's where the idea came from. I'm actually kind of happy with this piece, even if the voice could be stronger.
Oh, fair warning, it contains some violence and "strong language"
