RE: The Kitten - TWB 100-Word Contest Entry
This is really well done! 100 words seems like so many, but when creating the perfect scene the words get eaten up quickly. I love the darkness here, but also the wee bit of hope.
Glad you liked it @negativer. The thing I liked about having extra words this time around was being able to add some depth to the MC. Originally, I had a person who was "rescued" by a cat and then returned the favor. This time, we have a guy/gal who has rather nefarious plans for the kitten, a hard-living survivor, who turns out to be a little softer by the end of their acquaintance.
It was definitely a challenge to cram all that into 100 words! But it was considerably easier to do than if I had attempted to shoehorn it into 50, hahaha.
