Rainbow shards dance across the floor as a gentle breeze caresses the crystals dangling from the ceiling.

The kitten wiggles its butt, ready to pounce as the prism reflected light zips back and forth from a particularly large gust of wind. It’s soft, furry paws stretch towards the closest light, but touches only the carpet.

Confused, the kitten mews and turns to the next light beam. Leaping into the air, it lands exactly where the sliver of sun rested. But, when it pulled back its paws to examine its prey, only the carpet remained. It lifted its head and looked at its human.

Laughing, he lifted his hand and twisted his wrist until his watch face caught a sun ray, casting a dot of white light in the center of the rainbow shards. The kitten looked from the watch to the dot, uncertain.

Its human moves the dot across the floor, taunting it. The kitten jumps again, landing on the dot reflected by its human. It rolls onto its side and licks its paws while looking at its human.

It’s pupils double in size as the dot moves across the floor, coming closer. It crouches, ready to go in for the attack. Its ears twitching. Its tail wagging. The kitten flops onto the dot, it’s claws digging into the carpet. But, when it pulls its paws back, there is nothing there.

Because light cannot be captured.
