    great twist. Made me uncomfortable. Dead mice are always unpleasant, more so when they’re a mystery

    I really liked this. Makes me wonder where the scratches came from... This is a simple, yet captivating haiku that leaves me wanting for more. Great job!

    Haha this is perfectly unsettling! Careful—if it’s the tenth life, that cat means business…
