Ha-ha, I sure hope so, Debbie. You see, writing horror doesn't mean you're a bad person, nor does it mean that you're particularly demented or warped. The plain and simple truth is it is so hard to scare people--especially in the times we live in today--to be able to do so is quite a challenge. Fear is not an emotion easily invoked. Human beings have an aversion to feel fear, unlike more genteel emotions. So, it's only natural to become "hooked" once you've discovered you're able to do so.

This frightening addition to TToT was definitely no exception. I hate cats, and personally I find them to be very eerie animals in a normal setting, let alone dead ones lead by some demonic cat creature. Perhaps my fear of felines stems from old wives tales of how cats will steal the breath of young children while they sleep, or how they possess more than one life.

Creepy critters if you ask me.

You set the stage well in this, and while I half expected that the woman's dead cat would return to haunt her, I didn't expect the other...things to follow it.

Great work! You're very good at being dark, lol...

    Thank you, Dean. I do enjoy branching out and trying new things. This is quite fun and hope I am inspired to write more. I think think it is the best way to learn and to deal with the emotions such as fear. I do truly hear footsteps on the 130 yer old wooden staircase In my house. I have never felt the need to be fearful of them. If there are spirits, they must be friendly ons. Glad you enjoyed this, my friend~Debbie

    Thank you, Bob. I am really enjoying this opportunity to write these. Maybe it will help me write fiction, which I struggle with. All of what I write has a lot of truth in it

    I did get this one although I have had a lot of problems with receiving notifications and have had to re-friend several writers. You are on the 'to do list'. I'll get there, I promise, my friend~Debbie

Ohhh, creepy! Her pets wouldn't want to make her bleed, so it must be that other set of eyes. Wonder what it was. I sure wouldn't want to come home to it.

Hi there,

Some great descriptive writing here, especially in the first half. The style is such that it reads like a perfectly ordinary tale until the revelations later on.

The only thing I would say is that should Lucy not be Whiskers?

Apart from that. good stuff.

The focus the stress of the job increased by the loss of her cat. The storyline development arriving home after a frustrating day at work. Coming home to an empty house since her cat died two weeks prior. She hears footsteps and chuckles as the house has a history of being haunted. No the footsteps aren't human but an animal. She checks to see if an animal followed her in. It was Lucy and all her other cats. She heard Lucy meow and then saw an extra set of eye, a roar and claws sinking in and blood running down her leg.
The narration shows the action of finding the ghost cats and their greeting her, then the roar and blood running down her leg.
The hook is it a lion or tiger?
The suspense starts with the foot falls and the roar and her blood ending the suspense.
Keep on writing.
Debbie a short and sweet read. ^J^ Rita
