What a charming little story. I didn’t know how it was going to end up going about halfway through but alls well that ends well.

A heart-warming story, Sam. Your characters always have personality that is lovable in some way…even a cat. 🙂

Ah, the sweet, gentle world of an innocent young girl (I’ve one posted simply, “Girl”).

Sam,
You never fail to touch your readers’ hearts, minds, ‘n souls in bringing to life your characters’ personalities (even a cat’s), and in how they each fit so perfectly into your stories’ always interesting plots … and, your grammar is exemplary.

This is a most lovely piece, and I love the surprise ending.
I hope you like it here, Sam … the site needs your “special” touch! ⁓ Richard🖌

Thank you, Richard.

Thank you. Yeah, scary stuff for Halloween.

That got a giggle and smile out of me. enjoyed this.
Welcome to Stars Rite

Thank you, Fia. I’m one of those Writer’s Cafe folks who is looking for a more reliable site. I look forward to meeting new friends and sharing my work.

Your stories never let me down, Sam. I always get a laugh or a nugget of wisdom. Good one. 🙂

Fantastic work. Fun stuff.

Hi-ya, Sam!

Glad to see ya here, M’Friend. : )
As usual, your story is loaded with wonderfully relatable visuals; here, the kinds that tease a knowing smile from the lips of naughty boys … the kind girls seem to warmly favor.
Love “jealous ears” and her “ponytail”.

Oh, there’s truth in it alright, Sam, and damn those party-poopin’ spuds!!! ⁓ Richard (Rascal)🖌

Thanks, Richard. We men are much the same, are we not?

That must be the secret because some people seem to enjoy it a little too much sometimes. But in all seriousness, there are definitely days where it feels like you might as well just embrace it because that’s all there is left to do. Kind of reminds me of some song lyrics from a song I like, “So I made friends with all my demons/ Let ’em sink their teeth in/ Got used to the feeling of letting it go” and a mix of “you either laugh about it or you’ll cry”.

How painfully correct you are.. and yet
while painful I still found the ability to smile during the read. Humans are indeed idiots.

It always seemed weird to me that in a world full of people most of us feel lonely. Great ink.
