Maria, This is a very well written short story about the destructive rumors about the village beast. You used very good descriptive words and I love the art work you chose of the very colorful kitty. I enjoyed reading this. That poor cat didn't know what was going on. love and blessings, Teri

This is a great little story that I enjoyed very much. Even the name of the village suggests inactivity and sleepiness, I don't know why, there's nothing particular about its name at first view, but it rolls around in the mouth like that. I just wonder, is the last word necessary?

I don't know about the last word. I kind of like it...

Hi Maria, absolutely loved this story, beautifully written with the little twist of a shape shifter at the end, a unique piece of writing.
Best wishes
Mitchell

I really enjoyed this fun, little story. I think it would make international news if a shapeshifter was present, would be awesome haha, no town would be boring then!

Wouldn't that be a hoot, to be hiding in plain sight listening to all the gossip. Good twist to this little story Maria, enjoyed it.

LOL! Oh my goodness -- you and I had better not get together in a coffee house or cafe .... I have a feeling just our imaginations might get to people! ;) If I had even a prayer of having a six right now (they disappeared early this week!), it would be yours simply because I love the smile you put on my face -- feels great on a Friday!! ;) ;) Thank you so very much, Lady Maria -- just PERFECT!! ;) Yvette

A very compelling flash fiction that engages this readers imagination. I can see a small bucolic town like this and the rumors that start from innocuous situations.

You made me smile with this one, as it made me recall an incident in my youth where people's imaginations ran wild and they imagined all sorts of crazy things about a woman who moved to town and had joined none of the local churches. She was a prostitute, and she had three children. Because she joined no church, the rumors soon spread that she was an atheist, then she was a Satanist, and then it got crazier still. So many people love to make up this stuff to compensate for having no lives. Great story!

A very well-written flash fiction about the cat who made friends with the old people going to church seems to be a shapeshifter that can be one day the cat and another day a normal human and no one suspected anything.
