Wow. Wow. This is totally awesome. I bow to your superior writing skillz.

I was all scared for the poor little kitten, but he seems okay so that's good.

I just want to read it over and over and swim around in the words.

Awww, thank you! And yes, Sergeant Jingles is indeed very okay after obtaining his just, fishy desserts. As devious as I like to think of myself, I don't think I could write a story where a kitty got hurt! There are lines, sometimes. ;) Thank you very much for the compliments and for reading!

Creepy! Makes me want to know more about what Ginny is...and what she's capable of :)

[sonophax]

Yay! It was tough to decide how much background/details to put into a one-shot entry, but I envisioned her as a poltergeist brought on by a girl who was drowned, only able to affect the world around her when obsessed or hopping mad! So it's debatable how much of that I actually conveyed, but... well, it was fun to try. :) Thank you for reading!

I was definitely thinking poltergeist, didn't think of drowning but I think that's because my husband's playing loud music and telling me stupid things and I've got a headache :)

[sonophax]

Aww, hope your headache has gone away! Thank you for reading, though :)

LOL I like Sergeant Jingles. He's got all his priorities in the right places. Water sucks, and food is good!

I'd feel sorrier for Ginny, but at least she has a cool companion.

Fun ghost story!

Were it not for Sergeant Jingles, this might've been semi-tragic! But the presence of determined kitties makes almost everything better. Thanks for reading :)

Powerful,certainly kept my attention. Good work.

[sonophax]

Thank you, I'm very glad to hear it!

I can totally connect with the vibe of this piece, and I connected with Ginny's circumstances right away, though I'm not entirely sure I get the nature of the connection between the cat and water for Ginny.

I'm glad parts of it clicked, at least! I was worried (correctly, it seems) that I wouldn't be able to convey everything in so short a space... ah well, something to try for next time. :) Thank you for reading!
