The vet unwrapped the towel from the cat, like a funny game of pass the parcel. He's careful. It's all floppy-looking and its tongue is sticking out. It's panting like a dog. Stupid. Doesn't it know it's a cat?

Υou know how to keep interest in an annoying way? This is an art to create a contrast of emotions in a flattering manner.
A serial killer in the making.....such a creepy little tale, but masterfully woven.
Excellent! I can also relate this . I also write informative, fictional and philosophical pieces I'll be glad if you can also appreciate my work 😊
You had me going then you whacked me with the unreliability of the narrators. Great job LC
Wow, this is brilliantly done! 2 narrators, both unreliable, The twisted thoughts of the child - Mom's justification - Fantastic story, L.C!
What a wonderful cat name in such a creepy story. My plan is to get a cat when I retire (not pets allowed where I live now) and name her Esme Weatherwax (can be shortened to Granny).
Okay this story is not for me. I'm grateful for your warning. I scrolled down slowly though, so I hope this registers as a read
Brilliant voice throughout.
I knew that kid was up to no good. *shudders* This was a disturbing and gripping piece. Very engaging as well. Great job.
Oh god. This was so dark and utterly riveting. Kids like that scare me - brilliant stuff.
Oh man, what a foreboding decision from someone so young. I loved so much about this- the way you portrayed innocence and vulnerability in a sinister character was brilliantly fun to read. 'Maybe it will have to live with the knife in it forever.' Such a simple show of how inexperianced kids are and where their thoughts wonder off to. Same with the pin in the eye; simple, yet effective. It would be awesome if you could more about different stages in his life!
Is it just me, or are both the son and the mom unreliable narrators? This is brilliant stuff! Amazing challenge entry!
Horrific, the mind of a demented young child...yikes This is one creepy well told tale
Oh my. Definitely horror. Serial killer in training. Excellent work.
If it isn't horror yet, it feels like it will be shortly! Well done, LC!
A/N: First of all, thank you for reading! CONTENT WARNING: This story includes something horrible happening to a cat. Injury detail, blood, etc. I don't know if it's scary enough to be in Horror, but I thought that would help put people off who would be bothered by it. I hope submitting to Horror is OK (I did check the rules and couldn't see anything about which Community entries needed to be submitted to.) SORRY! This is my 4th post today. I feel like I might be clogging up your notifications, but I've got a lot of challenge entries cooking over here, and I don't want to skate too close to the deadline. This links very loosely to one of my micros, but I believe it stands on its own as a story. The micro is here if you want a look: https://shopping-feedback.today/fiction/what-happened-in-mr-rothman-s-classroom%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E The cat is named for a book character. If you know who it is, DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS?! As this is a long one, I'm aiming to reciprocate two read for every read here, so please do comment to make that easier! Thank you again for reading 😁
