The Inciting Incident is the newsletter of Mata Haggis-Burridge. There are weekly posts with original horror stories, critique, writing tips, and other fun things.
This week is one of the fun things - an animation from 22 years ago, back in the silent days of the internet when Mata was posting new animations and games on their website ‘Matazone’ every two weeks.
The year was 2002. Terrorists had flown a plane into the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. It felt like the start of World War III. Straaange times, and it was clear a new agenda had been set for the century ahead.
... But none of that was reflected in this video at all. It's just a drunk Snowdrop. Nothing high-brow this time!
Also, why are none of us surprised that Mittens is a bad drunk friend? You don't just wander off when your friends are wasted. Tsk tsk. Bad kitty.
Hope you’re all having a great week, and I’ll see you next time!
Go be kind to yourselves and others <3
